Tearful Moon was born during a hot summer night in Texas in the year of 2015. Sky Lesco, a poet and a muse, had an idea to collaborate with her musician lover, Manuel Lozano, on creating a spoken word project. It started with haunting ambient music accompanied with dark and sensual music. It was by accident that Tearful Moon took a different turn when Lozano made the suggestion for Lesco to sing the words rather than speak them. It wasn’t long until synthesizers were introduced to the equation. In three years’ time, the darkwave duo have released two LPs; In the Dark Morning via Brazilian label, Wave Records, and Evocation via Peruvian label, InClub Records. They have also toured the Midwest, played in Mexico City, Mexico and Lima, Peru. They are currently on a West Coast tour, and in the Fall of 2018 will tour Europe. They have had the pleasure to share the stage with some wonderful darkwave acts such as Boy Harsher, Eva O., Drab Majesty, Selofan, Qual, Sixth June, and Soft Kill.
