Moon Construction Kit turns nostalgia into a spectacular power-pop rush on ‘Right Across The USA’, a soaring new single seemingly engineered for enormous festival crowds.


Following the psychedelic detour of ‘Down the West Coast’, Lausanne-based musician Olivier Cornu switches gears once again, delivering a fast-moving blast of pure pop wrapped in the adventurous indie spirit that has become central to the project.


An instantly memorable motif kicks everything into motion before Cornu's layered vocal harmonies and Guy Britton'spunchy mix send the track towards genuinely huge territory. Bright, immediate and wonderfully infectious, it demonstrates Cornu's ability to move freely between psychedelic pop, indie rock and unabashed melody without becoming tied to any single sound.


Behind that euphoric momentum lies something more wistful. Cornu describes ‘Right Across The USA’ as a song about both connection and separation, drawing upon his own nostalgic relationship with the American culture that surrounded him growing up.


Since launching Moon Construction Kit in 2022, Cornu has steadily expanded his sonic universe. With ‘Right Across The USA’, that universe suddenly feels bigger, brighter and more exhilarating than ever.
