Psychedelic/krautrock mystics Moon Duo have risen up, understatedly, as one of the most intoxicating live acts of this decade. The Oregon band’s trademark sound is as much acquainted with minimalist pop as the louder, more cosmic torrents.
On stage, this band manifests like a living painting, punishing and hypnotic at the same time. Because of their all-embracing nature – 80’s disco, occult literature, electronic music and film soundtracks – a Moon Duo record never orbits the same area twice. New album 'Stars Are The Light' is no different: Moon Duo take disco as its groove-oriented departure point, shimmering with elements of ’70s funk and ’90s rave.
