If you’re a fan of warm, strummy, and jangly power pop in the style of Teenage Fanclub or Andrew Taylor (The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness, Dropkick), Rain Or Shine, Hanemoon’s 2024 album, probably hit your radar earlier this year. Now, Hanemoon is back with Easy On The Wildlife, an unexpected 5-track EP featuring a chipmunk eyeing a soda can on its quirky cover.

Easy On The Wildlife serves as a great companion piece to Rain Or Shine. The EP opens with its two most upbeat tracks: Is It Far Enough is a warm, semi-acoustic guitar pop gem, while the title track combines jangly riffs with a solid pop heart. The remaining songs are a breezy mix of folk, pop, slacker, and indie rock, further proof that Hans Forster’s songwriting chops are not to be underestimated.

The EP is now available for pre-order on CD via Subjangle. With its comforting sound and playful charm, Easy On The Wildlife is another lovely addition to Hanemoon’s growing catalog.
