Moon - Yours Sincerely

Review by Janna Cawrse Esarey

Yours Sincerely by Moon: A Time Capsule from Finland’s Rock-Pop Scene Alright, let’s talk about Yours Sincerely, the 1991 gem from Finnish band Moon. Released under AMT Records, this album is like that one friend who shows up uninvited but ends up being the life of the party. It blends rock and pop in a way that feels raw yet polished—like someone spilled beer on a velvet jacket and somehow made it work. The tracklist reads like a diary entry from the early '90s: emotional, nostalgic, and just a little bit messy. You’ve got songs like “There’s No Magic…” which kicks things off with an almost cinematic vibe. The guitar riffs are moody, the vocals are haunting, and honestly? It sticks with you because it sounds like heartbreak wrapped in reverb. If heartbreak had a soundtrack, this would be it. Then there’s “Winter Night (Memoir),” which feels like stepping into a snowstorm at midnight. The melody is sparse, letting the lyrics breathe, and it paints this vivid picture of loneliness and reflection. I remember it because it’s not trying too hard—it doesn’t need to. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to stare out a frosty window while sipping something warm. Or maybe just cry quietly in your room. Either way, it works. Other tracks like “Forgetting The Years” (yes, they spelled "forgetting" two different ways) and “White Walls” keep the energy going without overstaying their welcome. And can we appreciate the randomness of “Want To Be Its Mermaid”? Like…what? But hey, weirdness has its charm, right? What strikes me most about Yours Sincerely is how unapologetically human it feels. It’s not perfect—it’s got quirks, minor missteps, and moments where you’re like, “Wait, did they mean to do that?” But isn’t that what makes music memorable? It’s real. Finishing the album feels like closing a book you didn’t realize you needed. And here’s the kicker—it came out in 1991, the same year Nirvana blew everyone’s minds with Nevermind. Makes you wonder how many people missed this little slice of Finnish magic back then. Maybe that’s why it still feels like a secret waiting to be discovered. So yeah, if you’re into albums that feel more like conversations than performances, give Yours Sincerely a spin. Just don’t blame me if you start daydreaming about mermaids and snowy nights.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The 1991 Finnish album *Yours Sincerely* by Moon blends rock and pop in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh. One standout track, "Want To Be Its Mermaid," has this dreamy, almost otherworldly vibe. It’s like the band took a random idea—"What if someone wanted to be a mermaid?"—and turned it into a song that sticks with you. Finland’s music scene in the '90s wasn’t all heavy metal, and this album proves it!
