"Mind Is A Menace" is the second single off of Elluna’s upcoming EP Human Being due out early 2024
“Mind is a Menace" is a raw and emotive song that delves into the challenges of mental health struggles. Elluna captures the feeling of what it’s like to live in a reality distorted by depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts in this hypnotic, witch-house inspired, dark, alt-pop track. Elluna laments losing control to a mind, described as a “sea of monsters” and “fun house of demons,” whose “twisted plots” lead to frenzied emotions and depressive spells. Elluna has struggled with this constant darkness that plagues their mind with a curiosity about suicidal ideation as an escape.

“She sings with such a smoothly created style, her intentions are only pure and believes that she is the one to blame, when she actually isn’t at all. With a player-mentality overly rampant and social media comparing us to ourselves to make us feel distant when it should be the opposite, she flips your mindset into a deeply introspective one. ” - Llewelyn Screen
“Lucky me, lucky you. Tonight, we have the sound of Elluna to fill our ears with pleasure. The 24 year old independent singer songwriter from Arizona creates music she calls “intergalactic trip pop”. 'Lucky Me', which looks to be her official debut, is a cosmic electronic pop anthem that immediately evokes the synth iridescent beauty of Purity Ring’s darkly captivating songs. Elluna shoots us across the galaxy with the nocturnal bloom of her out of this world, gravity defying ballad. 'With her sonic aria, Elluna reminds herself, and listeners like ourselves, that love can be blinding, so much so that we end up willingly ignoring all the red flags.”
Bio
Though rooted in Arizona, Elluna's essence evokes a cosmic origin, infusing her music and spirit with celestial energy. Singing at age nine and writing songs on guitar at age twelve, Elluna has always felt a bit different from others of the same age and never quite felt like part of the crowd. Elluna has always felt a bit... alien.
Elluna's love for music led to recording and performing locally since age nineteen, being very involved in the local Arizona music scene while recording music, doing features with many other local artists and doing shows at local venues. Elluna has also branched out to collaborate online with independent artists and producers from many parts of the world.
In 2018, Elluna embarked on a transformative journey, transitioning to the realm of Pop music while infusing their distinctive style into the genre. With songs like 'Trapped' and 'Human Being,' Elluna has gained recognition in the music world, accumulating a mass of streams on Spotify, thanks to algorithmic playlists like Discover Weekly and Release Radar, and has also received airplay on popular local radio stations. Additionally, she has been accepted to Audiosocket and AWAL Recordings, further solidifying her position as an emerging artist.
Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists including Grimes, Purity Ring, HANA, Bjork, Kerli, Banks, Melanie Martinez, and Poppy, Elluna pushes the boundaries of pop music, exploring a slightly darker sound infused with elements of witch house.
Elluna is filled with excitement as she prepares to unveil her long-anticipated EP showcasing a captivating new sound coming soon.

Lyrics
Insecurities possessing
Self esteem distressing
Extremities begin confessing
Darkness will unmask its face
Questioning my tattered brain
I'm amazed while you betray
Trauma feeding so you remain
Your existence inhumane
I'm plagued with onslaughts of dark thoughts filled with twisted plots
Like a sea of monsters in my brain
I'm faltering, suffering
Now I'm wondering
Am I going insane?
My My My
My Mind Is A Menace
Warped and distorted by my funhouse of demons
My My My
My Mind Is A Menace
Emotions contorted
Destroys all I'm dreaming
I wish I
Could change my mind
My My My
My mind is
My mind is
My mind is menacing
Anxiety paralyzes me, control escaping
Depressive spells keep me in hell vitality fading
Weary from this frenzy of emotions you designed
I'm petrified I'll spend my life with you making up my mind
I'm plagued with onslaughts of dark thoughts filled with twisted plots
Like a sea of monsters in my brain
I'm faltering, suffering
Now I'm wondering
Am I already insane?
My My My
My Mind Is A Menace
Warped and distorted by my funhouse of demons
My My My
My Mind Is A Menace
Emotions contorted
Destroys all I'm dreaming
I wish I
Could change my mind
My My My
My mind is
My mind is menacing
