DISTANCE
A new single from Moment Joon, sampling Ryuichi Sakamoto's 'hibari' and produced by Noah and Gotch of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.
The word 'distance' has gained a new sense of severity ever since COVID-19 entered our daily lives. Not only do we live through social distance and the loss of human connection, but also the extreme polarization of how we perceive and think about the world we live in. Inspired by the famous commercial in which 'hibari' was used, we wanted to talk about how we are experiencing this global isolation, and yet still hoping for genuine connection.
