Moon Duo have a new album out at the end of September, an announcement that brings me great joy. The new one sees Ripley and Sanae Yamada dig into the sections of their record collections that contain the disco and rave 12" singles. Ripley's usual fluid guitar playing and Sanae's synths are still there but it's a definite move on from the darker, motorik grooves of the Occult Architecture albums of two years ago- the synths glisten and shimmer, yep, like stars in the inky black sky. Gently trippy. It was recorded in Portugal at the Mountains of the Moon with Sonic Boom on production and mixing. I think Moon Duo (and by extension Wooden Shjips) may be favourite current band.

Looking forward to a new Moon Duo album.
went to the gig at niamos and seeing moon duo within an art installation was amazing
Yeah I bet. They're touring in the autumn, definitely intend to go.
I saw Wooden Shjips a few weeks back and was very disappointed. Gnoomes blew them off the stage to be honest. Moon Duo were absolutely tremendous when they came to town a couple of years ago.
That's a shame Swede. Wooden Shjips were ace last year in Manchester.
