Behind The Tracks: THE COSMIK DEBRIS BAND - Lunar Encounters (Single) (2025)

When it comes to The Cosmik Debris Band, one word immediately stands out: vision. With their new single “Lunar Encounters”, the Dublin-based yet deeply Italian-rooted band opens a new chapter of their ambitious concept album Tales From The Moon, a sonic journey through space, introspection, and human destiny.

The song introduces us to Will Fargo, the protagonist of this narrative arc. Lost in the vast, desolate beauty of the Moon, Will isn’t just searching for direction—he’s searching for meaning, for hope, for something, or someone, that could prevent the tragic fate awaiting humankind. But amid the silent craters and spectral landscapes, something—or someone—lurks. This encounter, as the title suggests, becomes a turning point. “Lunar Encounters” is not just a song—it’s a meeting of two beings, of two worlds, and potentially, a new beginning.

Musically, the band weaves a rich tapestry of classic rock, bluesy textures, and progressive nuances, drawing inspiration from legends like David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Queen, and the Beatles. Mauro Angeletta’s guitars create melodic landscapes that mirror the Moon’s haunting elegance.

What makes this project particularly unique is the international and remote nature of its creation. Recorded between Ireland and Italy, with members working from across Europe, “Lunar Encounters” is the result of a true collaborative spirit, transcending geographical boundaries to craft something genuinely out of this world.

This track is more than a musical piece—it's a chapter in a story that invites listeners to escape, reflect, and imagine."
