Canadian artist Ernesto Lune, also known as Tristan Plumb, has returned with DAWN DEMONSTRATIONS, a raw, emotionally charged new EP that channels post-breakup melancholy into fuzzy, lo-fi indie-pop reflections on love, purpose, and uncertainty. Written and recorded entirely in his Barcelona apartment, the project offers four tracks of lo-fi introspection with a wounded heart and wandering mind, serving as what Lune calls “a way of debriefing myself” after the end of a short-lived relationship. Sonically, the EP sits somewhere between Mac DeMarco’s slacker sensibility and King Krule’s moodier tendencies, with a dash of Cindy Lee’s distorted intimacy, making it equal parts crunchy and confessional—unpolished but unmistakably intentional.
Following his 2021 debut EP, some good air (in search of,), Lune continues to carve out a singular space in the indie landscape where bedroom pop meets existential poetry. Produced by Lune and mastered by Max Igra (Museum Guard), the songs tumble out like diary entries set to tape hiss and dreamy guitars. Tracks like “Out of Sight” and “Cracked Time” dive into disillusionment, while “Not For Now” and “Some Way Out” offer glimpses of acceptance and resolve. Paired with self-made lyric visualizers for each track, DAWN DEMONSTRATIONS is a fully realized emotional document—scrappy, stirring, and steeped in late-night solitude, positioning Ernesto Lune as a compelling new voice in lo-fi alt-pop with soul.
