ROCK AT NIGHT PREMIERE – WEIMAR’s “Hunter’s Moon” – Worldwide release on July 7, 2023
Weimar continue their run of videos to accompany their acclaimed album, “Dancing On A Volcano”, with the video for “Hunter’s Moon.” Throughout the year Weimar will be releasing videos for all the tracks on the album so the whole album can be experienced in video form as “Dancing On A Volcano: The Movie”.
According to WEIMAR: The first track of ‘Side Two’ of the album, this is a brooding Gothic Jazz tune inspired by classic Film Noir. I viewed this one as like something from the soundtrack to a Hitchcockian psycho-drama with the dark surrealism of David Lynch. The paintings of Edward Hopper were an inspiration here as well.
“Hunter’s Moon” is a slow, brooding Gothic Jazz tune that takes its musical and lyrical inspiration from classic Film Noir. The song features a guest appearance from Finola on saxophone. Naturally, the video for the song pays homage to classics of the Film Noir genre, with traces of Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch in its footage and imagery. 1940s-style detectives follow a mysterious femme fatale and her accomplices into a dark, surreal web of mystery, deception and murder.
Rock At Night Says: “Hunter’s Moon” focuses on the underbelly of society as a femme fatale or perhaps a “lady of the evening.” With it dark, jazzy feel, and haunting bass line, I’m conjuring in my head visions of the films White Heat and the Maltese Falcon. The video totally captures the sinister mood and Film Noir inspiration of the lyrics. Bravo!

I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
