Moon Hooch have announced their next studio album, ‘Life On Other Planets’ will be released January 10. Recorded in a series of stunning, single-take performances, the collection may be the purest distillation of the double saxophone and drum trio’s sound yet. There’s no studio magic here, just three musicians (saxophonist Wenzl McGowan and Mike Wilbur and drummer James Muschler) who share a telepathic connection that transcends language, genre and tradition. The nine tracks on ‘Life on Other Planets’ mix elements of jazz, punk, funk, and EDM, swirling them all into an instrumental maelstrom the band calls ‘cave music’—derived from house music, but more jagged and primitive.
Listen to the first single, ‘Candlelight’ below, and catch Moon Hooch on tour through 2020…
