NEW VINYL LP ON CITY SLANG 2021

180 GRAM COLORED VINYL.

Moon Duo’s earlier recordings reflected enough of guitarist/songwriter Ripley Johnson’s other band, Wooden Shjips, to make his fans happy. Even if this two-person group — Johnson and organist Sanae Yamada — relied heavily on fixed rhythms since they didn’t have a drummer, the guitars soloed and sprawled in hypnotic, free-form psych. The approach on Mazes is different, even if they keep some elementals intact. Check the title track, where Yamada’s organ plays a lithe, sprightly pop melody and Johnson’s guitar punches a trebly chord sequence adding heft.
