Lora-Faye Åshuvud is a composer from Brooklyn who writes, performs, and produces under the moniker Arthur Moon, a project which PAPER Magazine says "is queering pop." Åshuvud was named a 2019 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow in Music/Sound, a 2018 Artist Fellow at The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation, a 2017 Collaborative-Artist-in-Residence at MANCC Forward Dialogues, and has worked as a curator and radio host for WNYC's New Sounds. After the release of 2019's debut Arthur Moon full-length, NPR's Bob Boilen called the album his "favorite new discovery" on All Songs Considered: "the music is ethereal at times and spacious, with lyrics that are often visual, somewhat like an abstract painting."
