The Moon is Down is the debut album by the Pompano Beach, Florida rock band Further Seems Forever, released in 2001 by Tooth & Nail Records. It was the band's first full-length album and their only album with original vocalist Chris Carrabba and guitarist Nick Dominguez. Carrabba had already decided to leave the band to focus on his new project Dashboard Confessional but joined them in the studio to record the album.^[1] Dominguez left the band the following year to start the record label Pop Up Records. The two were replaced by Jason Gleason and Derick Cordoba, respectively, for the band's next album How to Start a Fire. A music video was filmed for the song "Snowbirds and Townies."
