CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description 2010 debut album from the San Francisco duo comprised of Sanae Yamada and Erik Johnson (Wooden Shjips). Inspired initially by the legendary John Coltrane and Rashied Ali, Moon Duo counts such variant groups as Silver Apples, Royal Trux, Moolah, Suicide, and Cluster as touchstones. Utilizing primarily guitar, keyboards, percussion, and vocals, the pair plays space against form to create a primordial and disorienting sonic stew. Escape marks the fullest realization yet of the young group's evolving sound. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsDone,baby,drone! Michael J. Coleman | florida | 04/14/2010 (4 out of 5 stars) "This album has a dark, repetitive Kraut rock vibe to it. Good for late nights, long drives, mowing the lawn, spraying in foam insulation. Some of the organ and guitar skronk reminds me of White Light era Velvets.Slap back vocals in a kind of Alan Vega vein. Most of these "songs" are riffs repeated over and over and over, but the layers of white noise and ambience are what gives it movement and dynamics. GUitar player from Wooden Shjips I believe...good stuff. They're a good psych rock band too." Krautrock. From California. David Hayes | 04/11/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Great, spacey rhythms in the grand tradition of such Teutonic masters as Can. Monster riffs, epic drones, sinister vocals - one has to wonder if drugs were involved. Perish the thought, old chap.
Play "Motorcycle, I Love You" in the dark. Crank up the volume until your ears bleed or the neighbors call the police. Repeat until you have been bludgeoned into submission. Then buy Can's "Monster Movie," "Tago Mago" and "Ege Bamyasi." " |
