History
The Big Moon were formed in London, England, in 2014 by lead singer Juliette Jackson, guitarist Soph Nathan, bassist Celia Archer, and drummer Fern Ford. The band gained exposure on a co-headline tour in October 2015 with fellow London bands VANT and Inheaven.[4] Following that tour, they supported artists The Maccabees, Ezra Furman, and The Vaccines. In 2016, the band signed to Fiction Records. In March, they released their debut EP, The Road, and the single "Cupid".[5] In August 2016, the group released a cover version of Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger".[6]
The band had begun recording a third album in early 2021, but decided to delay it in light of Juliette Jackson's pregnancy.[12][13] After giving birth, Jackson began writing with singer-songwriter Jessica Winter, and the band began recording in Fern Ford's home studio and co-produced the album with Adam "Cecil" Bartlett, who had been an engineer on Love in the 4th Dimension.[13][12] The album, Here Is Everything, was officially announced on 13 July 2022, alongside the release of its first single "Wide Eyes", and was given a release date of 14 October 2022.[12][13][14] A second single, "Trouble", was released on 5 September 2022.[15][16] That same month the band began a headlining tour, which kicked off with a show at Finsbury Park alongside George Ezra.[12][17]
