EP Review: Waning Moon | MP, M.Y.L.O., Ty Sorrell
Waning Moon is the kind of project you throw on when the lights are low and the bass is turned down just enough to let the room breathe. It’s a chill head-nod EP, built for cooling off rather than turning up. When you need to lower the frequencies and settle into a mood, this record knows exactly where to meet you.
Conceptually, Waning Moon is about feeling good and navigating relationships without overcomplicating the moment. The Virginia roots show clearly, especially in the hooks. There’s a strong Pharrell-adjacent DNA in the melodies, with M.Y.L.O.’s falsetto-heavy choruses floating over glossy, house-party-ready production. It’s music for movement, but not chaos — the kind of soundtrack that plays while conversations matter and the room is warm.
“Call Time,” the first song on the EP, sets the mood, but “Same Time” is where the personalities really click. Sneeze glides across the beat, switching from rap into a melodic pocket, then flipping his flow around the 50-second mark like he’s bored with standing still. It’s a subtle flex that shows range without screaming for attention.
King Kaiju matches that energy with a verse that cuts through clean. His line, “fucking with me might just leave you thinking you ain’t have no business on the mic bitch,” lands with real bite. Every time Kaiju shows up, it feels like he’s sharpening the blade of his pen, carving out more presence and confidence in his delivery.
Overall, Waning Moon is a chill EP that understands its lane. There’s plenty of singing about relationships, but it never sinks into melodrama. Instead, it lives in that late night in between space: music for a drives and conversations that linger. If you’re headed out for the night or just trying to set the moon, Waning Moon is the record to play.
