Moodring has returned with a brand-new single and video, Half-Life.

Following 2022’s breakout debut album Stargazer, the project – now led by frontman Hunter Young – has signed with SharpTone, and is addressing the changes that have happened, both personally and professionally, since then that first record.

“Half-Life was one of the first songs written after I received a life-changing medical diagnosis and was forced to grieve losing the person that I thought I was and had identified as for most of my sentient life,” Hunter admits. “It was a devastating blow to an already-tarnished nervous system. This song and sub-sequential songs were my way of coping and writing an obituary for the person I lost in that doctor’s office.

“But when looking at Half-Life through a broader lens, I believe anyone who’s ever been forced to face realities or truths they cannot change can relate in ways that weren’t the original intention.”
