Tom Lark - Moonlight Hotel (CD)
$25.00
Regular price $15.00Psychedelic folk artist Tom Lark - the musical project of Shannon Fowler - will release his new album, Moonlight Hotel, on 4 April on vinyl and compact disc and has also announced his first live shows in Aotearoa since May 2024.
Moonlight Hotel is the artist’s second album and fans have already been given a sneak peak of the record, by way of the single ‘Dumb Luck’.
Steeped in the Tom Lark persona's whimsical yet pragmatic sensibility, Moonlight Hotel is an evolution of what his debut album, Brave Star, introduced: sun-drenched odes to taking things as they come and rolling with the punches.
Fowler was born in Ōtautahi and relocated to Tāmaki Makaurau in 2012, after a stint recording in Berlin. He works from his Okie Dokie Studio, situated just off Karangahape Road.
"When I began writing ‘Dumb Luck’ I was thinking a lot about perseverance but also how funny ‘dumb luck’ is as a phrase. Despite hard work, sometimes things don’t pay off and other times things work out in total naiveté, for no other reason than some weird cosmic alignment. That said, I don’t really subscribe to the idea of ‘dumb luck’. Instead perhaps being ‘lucky’ is the ability to make the best of the circumstances as they present themselves; maybe luck is no more than finding a silver lining."
Available on 180g Black Vinyl & 4 Panel Digipak CD.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
