“Autumn Passing” is the central piece of the new album by Lunar Noon, a band founded by Michelle Zheng from San Francisco. Although it starts with an ephemeral, almost transparent melody, this is merely a prelude to an expansive, space-filling sound of instruments and voices.

The guzheng, a traditional Chinese string instrument, plays a special role here, adding layers that transport the listener to a parallel world where Eastern motifs meet modern indie music.
Over six minutes, the song creates a truly magical effect. Michelle Zheng masterfully balances between quiet, barely audible moments and richer, almost orchestral sections. Her vocals sound incredibly refined—otherworldly, as if a voice pouring in from another dimension.
