Blending together melodic guitar, powerful drums, atmospheric flute and cello and hypnotic emotionally charged vocals, The Moon Whispers is a strong original band with lyrical depth. Their set is dynamic, ranging from mellow ballads to heavier energetic rock with a dark edge. Offering a visually stimulating performance with elaborate costumes The Moon Whispers music is best described as melancholic inspiring and beautiful.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know its my 21st next week, and we're having a party/gig at the adelaide with some bands and it's all free and whatnot! come down if you're free :~)
Hi there this is the review of the new album DANCE YOUR PAIN AWAY by THE MOON WHISPERS by THE NZ MUSICIAN
Wow! First impressions and every listen thereafter. This is magical stuff indeed. The Moon Whispers is the alter ego of Wellington resident Elisa Di Napoli, and on occasion a duo or 4 piece band. Elisa's voice is stunning and beautifully layered, and her song writing and musical ideas are very appealing. Whilst you might be tempted to slot her into the ethereal, folky, ambient, gothic zone, on this release Elisa demonstrates broader talents with some great collaborations with varied composers including Wellington's Amy Davidson, Francis Heery (Ireland) and The Upbeats (a brilliant Kosheen-style drum and bass track), as well as her own band. The production is excellent, particularly the bass and vocal treatments (shades of Dead Can Dance come to the fore). Ambient, trance and dance lovers will be entranced. Imagine a phatted-up Loreena McKennit crossed with Jordan Reyne and you're starting the picture. "Atmospheric" doesn't even begin to describe the myriad of ambiences and emotions contained in this beautiful album. Not just entrancing, it's also made for dancing. Title track is house-style and title says it all. Mastered at Matrix Studios in Wellington and sounding great. Ania Glowacz , NZ Musician Dec 2007
