China Aster’s Not a Holiday is a vibrant sonic tapestry, weaving together jangly guitars, pulsating rhythms, and rich, textured pianos. This track strikes a dynamic balance between introspective art pop and infectious dance energy, propelled by Moore’s fervent vocals and sharp-witted lyrics. It explores the blurred boundaries of “home” versus “away,” highlighting the struggle to break free from routine, even during supposed escapes. Inspired by the layered history of Guernsey, Moore crafts a narrative that captures both the sense of alienation and subtle rebellion.
Co-produced by Oliver Marson and mixed by Joshua Rumble, Not a Holiday offers a punchy, layered take on modern life’s complexities. Make sure you also put your hands on the cool diy music video below:
