Moon Duo have released a video for their track Slow Down Low, taken from third album Shadow Of The Sun.
The follow-up to 2012’s Circles was launched last month via Sacred Bones. Founders Ripley Johnson and Sanae Yamada are joined by drummer John Jeffrey, who first appeared on last year’s live album.
They say Shadow Of The Sun was written during “a rare and uneasy rest period, devoid of the constant adrenaline of performing live and the stimulation of traveling through endless moving landscapes.”
But the situation offered them an opportunity for reflection, which served them well when they decided to record in “a dark Portland basement.”
Lead track Animal was released in January. The album is available via Amazon and iTunes. Moon Duo are midway through a UK tour, with six dates remaining:
Apr 28: Bristol Exchange
Apr 29: Leeds Holy Trinity Church
Apr 30: London Village Underground
May 01: Dublin Workmans Club
May 02: Letterkenny Distorted Perspective Festival
May 04: Liverpool Kazimer
