Album Review: "The Moonlight Club" by The Moonlight Club
The Moonlight Club’s most recent effort, the self-titled full-length album, is their most consistent and cohesive work to date. Recorded over a nine-day period at Breakglass Studios with David Smith (Patrick Watson, Elephant Stone, Leif Vollebekk), the album showcases the band’s authentic blend of folk-rock and 80’s new wave. With tight, impressive drum work and guitar tones that Johnny Marr would be proud of, the Moonlight Club have created a strong, diverse album that takes the listener on a journey from energetic rock to sweeping balladry.
With their upbeat singles ‘A Little Too Much’ and ‘Are You Up?’, The Moonlight Club flex their song-writing chops and improve upon the already strong sound created with their first EP: 2015’s ‘Words of Gold,’ also recorded and produced by Smith. Sharing lead vocal duty, Francois Royer Mireault and John Pankert sing their, at times cliché, but emotionally honest lyrics with conviction. The vocals, reminiscent of Adam Granduciel of the War on the Drugs, don’t always meet the intended note, a brave stylistic choice in a time of auto-tuned vocal perfection, but this choice pays off as it conveys the emotion laying within the lyrics. Stand-out track ‘Simon & Nico’ sees the band depart from their upbeat jangle pop, trading their 80’s inspired guitar for piano, creating an epic, sonic picture that helps the listener escape to a new place.
With the grand organ solo that opens ‘Stranger’, to the distorted electric guitar intro of barn-burner ‘Black, Two Sugars’, The Moonlight Club displays their ability to craft engaging introductions that entice the listener, drawing them into each and every song. Ending with the raw, upbeat and energetic ‘Living Lost’, The Moonlight Club make a statement. They are telling the world that this album is just the beginning for them, and that the end is nowhere in sight. They sing, “I’m shoutin’ out loud, I’m cryin’ out loud, I feel like goin’ out, tonight”, on album highlight ‘Tonight’, which is a coincidence as they have constructed an album that is the perfect soundtrack for a night out on the town.

Film Review: Black Panther (And Why You Should See It)
It’s finally here! Black Panther, the 18th installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) run by Marvel Studios, focuses on the events that occurred after Captain America: Civil War, released in spring of 2016. Black Panther is not your typical MCU film, but it does revert back to MCU's last battle trope—and it looks amazing.
T’Challa returns to Wakanda, a technologically advanced African nation that is hidden from the rest of the world. Upon his return he is crowned King, but not without the demons of his father’s reign lurking in the shadows waiting to be revealed.
Directed and written by Ryan Coogler, known for Fruitvale Station and Creed, created a focused, Afro-centric film with its all-Black cast. The characters were written phenomenally, and were compelling to watch. It is evident that extensive amounts of research were done in order to create a realistic African nation. The movie itself looks amazing—the production team took designs from existing African cities and incorporated it into the film, while adding technological elements.
Chadwick Boseman returns as T’Challa, giving an amazing performance (as usual), while Michael B. Jordan portrays the villain Killmonger who has to be my favourite villain in the MCU so far. Killmonger’s motives can be understood and supported. Though Killmonger is the “tough guy” character, you can’t help but sympathize with him when he shows emotion.
The standout performance in the film had to be Letitia Wright as Shuri, T’Challa younger sister and princess of Wakanda who also designs new technology for the country. Wright took the spotlight in every scene she was in with her wit and banter with other characters in the film. Andy Serkis gave a wonderful and entertaining performance and Ulysses Klaue. Though not seen much in the film, Angela Basset, who portrays Ramonda. the Queen Mother of Wakanda, and Forest Whitaker, who portrays Zuri, both gave good performances as well.
The sense of duty is omnipresent throughout the film. The duty to one’s nation, one’s people, and one’s family is easily compelled, as well as a political message that is best seen when you watch the movie. Similar to Civil War, it’s easy to understand both sides that are being presented, but you ultimately side with the good guys.
Black Panther isn’t just a movie to some people, it means something. As an African-American watching this film, I couldn’t help but shed a few tears. They were happy tears: having the ability to see a cast full of strong, powerful and intelligent African-Americans in a film just seemed so surreal to me. In that moment, I knew it was possible to see minorities in lead roles, carrying a film. All we need is a chance, and Black Panther proved very well what we’re are capable of.
Black Panther comes to theatres this Friday, February 16.
