Moon Duo announce new album 'Stars Are The Light' and share track
Moon Duo have revealed details of their upcoming seventh album. Stars Are The Light will be released September 27th via Sacred Bones. The album was mixed by Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3, Spectrum) and has been described as influenced by Disco, 70s Funk and 90s Rave. Sanae Yamada had this to say: “We have changed, the nature of our collaboration has changed, the world has changed, and we wanted the new music to reflect that.”
With regards the Disco connection, Yamada says, “It’s something we hadn’t referenced in our music before, but its core concepts really align with what we were circling around as we made the album. Disco is dance music, first and foremost, and we were digging our way into the idea of this endless dance of bodies in nature. We were also very inspired by the space and community of a disco – a space of free self-expression through dance, fashion, and mode of being; where everyone was welcome, diversity was celebrated, and identity could be fluid; where the life force that animates each of us differently could flower.”
