La Lune Releases EP ‘everything is an eternal circle and it repeats and repeats itself’

Vancouver, BC-based shoegaze quartet, La Lune, releases their new EP everything is an eternal circle and it repeats and repeats itself, alongside a visualizer for single/video expressionless out via play dead on May 8th, 2025.

After kicking off 2025 with two standout singles and a string of live performances, Vancouver, BC’s la lune returns with a new EP, everything is an eternal circle and it repeats and repeats itself—a follow-up to their 2024 debut release, disparity.

Across the EP’s eight tracks—including the previously released singles “quiet considerations” and “expressionless”—La Lune delves into the subtle disorientation of living with trauma. The EP takes its name from a concept introduced in a therapy session—a “trauma vortex,” which describes the repetitive, spiralling nature of unprocessed emotion. The band leans into repetition, distance, and disorientation, using slow-building arrangements to reflect the lingering pull of past experiences that never fully let go. Rather than confront it directly, the songs drift around the edges, circling the same ideas in loops of sound and repetition. There’s no clear resolution, but a steady pull inward.

Known for their immersive live sets, La Lune brings a similar tension to the EP: dense, distorted guitars and pounding drums are softened by hushed, layered vocals, creating a sound that feels both heavy and restrained. While rooted in shoegaze, the songs step outside genre conventions, leaning into subtle shifts and explosive moments, offering a slow, steady descent into emotional inertia.

While La Lune draws loosely from genre staples like Duster and My Bloody Valentine, their approach feels uniquely personal. everything is an eternal circle doesn’t seek clarity or closure—it’s a patient, carefully shaped reflection on what lingers long after the moment has passed.
