Hanging Up The Moon

Band,
Folk and World
A.k.a. Sean Lam

Hanging Up The Moon is the moniker of singer-songwriter Sean Lam, a well-respected figure in the Singapore music scene whose band Concave Scream was one of the pioneer indie bands when it started in the early 90s. In the years since, Sean has gone on to distinguish himself outside of the music scene too as an interactive designer. He co-founded Kinetic Interactive which he then left after more than a decade to start Plate Interactive. He has earned numerous international awards, and has even been asked to judge at prestigious award shows such as D&AD, One Show Interactive, Cannes Lions, Clio and Webby Awards. In 2011, unable to commit to the demands of a band yet needing an outlet to express himself, Sean embarked on his solo song-crafting project as Hanging Up The Moon. As hinted at by the name, the songs were recorded in the dead of the night after the day’s work was done, his daughter put to bed, and when all was finally quiet. In the folk-acoustic tradition of singer-songwriters, the songs were simply accompanied by his buoyant, finger-picked guitar or ukelele, allowing Sean’s plaintive vocals and introspective lyrics to shine through. It is precisely this quiet honesty in both words and sound that has captivated critics and earned Hanging Up The Moon a new following in Singapore.
