Lord Of The Lost vocalist Chris Harms releases 4th single “Lunamor” and official video

In the past four years, Lord Of The Lost has experienced the most successful period in the band’s history – and lead singer Chris Harms has shown no signs of taking a creative break. Today, Harms is releasing “Lunamor”, the fourth single from his debut solo album “1980”, which is dropping this Friday, February 7.
 
The song blends dark, hypnotic synthesizers with an evocative melody, once again highlighting Harms’ deep connection to the electronic sounds of the 1980s. Following the previous singles, “Lunamor” takes an even more enigmatic and romantic turn, revealing yet another intriguing facet of the album.
 
Like all tracks on “1980”, “Lunamor” reflects Harms’ unique ability to create music driven by pure passion – free from conventions or genre constraints. He crafts a sonic atmosphere deeply rooted in synth-pop, new wave, and goth to frame his infectiously catchy melodies, maintaining a strong potential for radio airplay. With each new track, Harms proves that “1980” is more than just a tribute to a legendary decade – it is also a testament to his artistic versatility, marking a bold and captivating chapter in his musical journey.

Sometimes it only takes a single word to trigger an entire song. I remember almost exactly a year ago, I was lying alone at night in a deck chair at the stern of the “70,000 Tons Of Metal” cruise ship and was enchanted by the sight of the Caribbean moon. The words “Luna” and “Amor” merged in my mind’s eye to form “Lunamor” and I thought “Wow, what a wonderful title for a song!” – and a few months later it became a whole story with a soundtrack, which now finds a home on my solo album. From the metal cruise to the synthpop album – wonderful!

With Lord Of The Lost, Chris Harms has recently achieved defining milestones in the band’s history, including participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, touring with Iron Maiden, and securing a #1 and two #2 spots on the Official German Album Charts. But for Harms, taking a break is out of the question. The concept of a solo album has been brewing in his mind for years, and it has now come to fruition with “1980”, set for release this January.

If I were forced to categorize this album and label it, it would probably say ‘a strange but successful mix of Depeche Mode, Modern Talking and Sandra with Chris Harms’ voice, but with less perm and mullet’

Songs such as the first single “I Love You” and “Lunamor” exude a pleasant lightness, while “Past Pain” and “May This Be Your Last Battlefield” strike a reflective note. Two selected duets round off the album: Harms welcomes guest singer Sven Friedrich (Solar Fake) on “Madonna Of The Night”, while Ronan Harris (VNV Nation) can be heard on “The Grey Machines”.

“1980” deliberately avoids attempting to reinvent the wheel, but is to be understood as a musical journey through time. There is no deliberate calculation or riding the wave of any trends on the album, but simply a passion, desire and love for music, with which Chris Harms has marked a remarkable new pinnacle in his discography as a musician.
