Medium Bio

Jake From Luna is an Australian indie folk artist whose debut album The Future Is Bright arrives 14 July 2026. Written while travelling and performing internationally, the 12 track record is his most direct songwriting yet, moving through devotion, dissolution, grief, and self-knowledge before arriving at a hard-won hope. Jake is also the creator of Luna Cult, a mental health and merchandise brand built around the music, with a percentage of every sale supporting mental health charities.

Long Bio

Jake From Luna is an Australian indie folk artist whose debut album The Future Is Bright arrives 14 July 2026. Recorded with a rawness that trusts the listener, the 12 track record moves through devotion, dissolution, grief, and self-knowledge before arriving at a hard-won hope.

The songs were written in the period after Lunar Syrup’s Dream State War, while Jake, a global traveller, was performing internationally. What came out of it is more vulnerable than anything before it, the same abstract imagery he’s known for now balanced with a newfound directness, the kind that only lands when it comes from someone who has actually lived it.

Shaped by the ocean, the moon, and the unshakeable belief that simplicity is enough, Jake writes about the human condition with the directness of someone who has actually felt it, and the craft of someone who knows how to make you feel it too. Equal parts confessional and cosmic, The Future Is Bright earns its title on the last track.

Alternative Bio

Jake From Luna is an Australian indie folk artist and the solo acoustic project of Lunar Syrup’s main songwriter, whose Dream State War (2024) Happy Mag called an eight-track masterpiece. His album The Future Is Bright is out now. Shaped by the ocean, the moon, and the unshakeable belief that simplicity is enough, Jake writes about the human condition with the directness of someone who has actually felt it.

He can hold an entire abstract world in a lyric, then collapse it into something devastatingly direct. The same artist who wrote “Dark Rainbows In A Binaural Universe” also wrote “I Looked At My Dog And Remembered Life Is Worth Living.” Both are completely him.

His music moves through devotion, dissolution, grief and self-knowledge before arriving at a hard-won hope. Equal parts confessional and cosmic. Raw and precisely crafted. They don’t fix anything. They just sit with you in whatever it is, and somehow that’s more useful. He writes for people who feel things too much and have stopped apologising for it. For anyone who has ever felt lost and needed something to hold onto.

Alongside the music, Jake is building Luna Cult, a community and brand rooted in mental health, connection, and the belief that the masculine and feminine don’t have to be at war. That people are hurting in different ways and deserve a space that knows that. Profits from Luna Cult support mental health charities.

The future is bright. Not because everything is fine. Because believing it is the only thing that keeps the light on.

Background

Jake is also the principal songwriter and vocalist of Lunar Syrup, a Gold Coast based four piece blending psychedelic rock, indie atmosphere and trance-like acoustics. Lunar Syrup’s 2022 debut Distant Echoes earned reviews from The AU Review, Amnplify and Livewire, and was featured by the Courier Mail alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers in its year end album picks. Their second album Dream State War (2024) was praised by Happy Mag as “an eight-track masterpiece.”
