From MoeBFUThis week we’re spinning The Moon Is Down, the 2001 debut from Further Seems Forever. Featuring Chris Carrabba on vocals before he went on to become synonymous with Dashboard Confessional, this album sits at a really interesting intersection of emo, melodic hardcore, and post-hardcore. It’s emotional without being overly polished, aggressive without losing its melodies, and feels very much like a snapshot of the early-2000s scene. It’s one of those albums that may not get mentioned alongside the biggest emo classics, but for those who know it, The Moon Is Down tends to stick with them.
