Illusion (Poor Moon EP)

Illusion is the debut extended play (EP) by the American indie rock band Poor Moon. It was released on March 27, 2012, via Sub Pop Records. The EP consists of five tracks that showcase the band's signature sound, characterized by layered vocal harmonies, atmospheric instrumentation, and a generally melancholic tone.

The tracks on Illusion were primarily written and performed by the band's core members, Christian Wargo, Casey Wescott, Ian Moore, and Peter D. Moore. The EP was generally well-received by critics, who praised its intricate arrangements and haunting melodies. Notable tracks include "Holiday Home," which features a prominent mandolin riff and showcases the band's vocal harmonies, and the title track, "Illusion," which explores themes of disillusionment and uncertainty.

Illusion helped establish Poor Moon as a promising act within the indie rock scene and served as a precursor to their debut full-length album, Poor Moon, released later in the same year. The EP remains a popular release among fans of the band and is considered a key part of their discography.
