MOON - III

Third pressing on black vinyl available from November 15th.

Entering the world of MOOON is like stepping into a time machine. The young Brabant power trio, consisting of brothers Tom and Gijs de Jong and their cousin Timo van Lierop, takes the listener back to the Golden Age of pop music: the heyday of psychedelia in the 60s and 70s. The spaceship now sets foot on its third destination, with a new album that bears the appropriate name 'III'.

On 'III' the band digs a little deeper into the bag of tricks with trippy sounds. The catchy garage rockers are still present, but are accompanied by more complex songs. On 'You Cannot Know' we hear an extensive, jazzy drum solo, ending in an almost baroque outro segment. It is one of the many examples of the musical development of MOOON as a band that we hear on III. For inspiration they still look to the rich past, but the trio dives deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole and experiments happily, resulting in a colorful mix of styles and ideas, without sacrificing authenticity and idiosyncrasy for a moment.
