With their latest release, moondaddy unveils “Conquer Me,” the second ethereal single from the forthcoming Lightwave Lightwave EP, offering a haunting meditation on lost love across the multiverse. The track feels otherworldly, with delicate layers of sound woven into its fragile yet textured atmosphere, while frontwoman Cara Potiker’s mesmerizing slow-burn vocals drift like echoes from a ghostly realm. The faint guitar melodies are almost like whispers from a haunted love, drawing listeners into an immersive, spectral soundscape.
“It’s about all of the possibilities that can be co-occurring with our present reality, and wishing for one scenario to take dominance,” Potiker reflects on the song’s deeper meaning.
For the San Diego-based dream-pop band, what began as an escape from existential angst has evolved into a confident artistic vision. In just a few years, singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Potiker has gone from bedroom demos to captivating live audiences with moondaddy’s entrancing shows. Last month, they announced Lightwave Lightwave, a four-song EP that takes their fearless live performances and captures them in the studio through a bold, fully analog recording process.
“This is the first project that sounds exactly the way I want my music to sound,” Potiker shares. “I didn’t have the confidence before, and I just let men take the reins. My vision really came to life on this analog EP—my band and I took full advantage of the spontaneous and manic energy of tape recording.”
