Moons In Retrograde

Moons In Retrograde is a dark alternative, pop-noir project unfolding at the liminal spaces of sound, shadow, and emotional residue.
Created by Kara Kuckoo, the project draws from trip-hop, electronic noir, and avant-goth atmospheres to explore buried emotions, inner fracture, and transformation.
Influenced by Kara’s background in performance and installation art, Moons In Retrograde exists as an obscure dream world rather than a fixed genre. Sound, image, and embodiment function together, creating immersive audiovisual works that blur the boundaries between music, performance, and visual art.
Moons In Retrograde engages with duality — light and dark, beauty and decay, presence and absence — not as opposing forces, but as coexisting states. Through layered vocals, dreamlike visuals, and lyrical decay poetry, the project reflects on the darker currents of human experience — not to sensationalize them, but to sit with them, illuminate them, and allow them to breathe.
