Moon Duo Occult Architecture Vol. 2 (lim.ed. Sky Blue Vinyl) Label Sacred Bones Erstveröffentlichung 06.05.2022 Format LP Lieferzeit 1 – 3 Werktage Preis 19,95 € (inkl. MwSt. zzgl. Versand)

17er der Band von Wooden Shjips-Gitarrist Ripley Johnson. Der laut Band (z.T. auch hörbar) „positive“ Teil („lightness, air & sun“) des lose konzeptuell angelegten Werkes. Auf jeden Fall eine definitiv friedvollere Atmosphäre als bei Part 1. Mal treffen sägende repetitive (wie immer ein Dauermerkmal) Spacemen 3-Parallelen auf lichteren z.T. wabernden z.T. fast süßen (oder strahlenden) Psychedelic Pop, mal vermischen sich Can-Einfluß, Psyche-Kraut und eine Spur Harmonia in relaxtem Fluß, mal werden stoisch-monotone Grooves mit Dream Pop-Elementen und Anleihen bei Michael Rother vermählt, mal trifft in friedlich-hypnotischer Form David Bowies Heroes auf La Düsselsdorf in dezent psychedelisch gebadet. Und der längste der 5 Tracks (6-10 Min.) bietet von (fast) allem etwas. 2 Instrumentals. Insgesamt ein bischen anders als ich sie kenne. (dvd)

Offering a cosmic glimpse into the hidden patterning embedded in everything, Occult Architecture reflects the harmonious duality of these light and dark energies through the Chinese theory of Yin and Yang. Following the Yin (feminine, darkness, night, earth) represented on Occult Architecture Vol. 1, Vol. 2 presents the Yang. Yang means "the bright side of the hill" and is associated with the male, sun, light and the spirit of heaven, and as such Vol. 2 explores the light and airy elements of Moon Duo's complex psyche. "In production we referred to Vol. 1 as the fuzz dungeon, and Vol. 2 as the crystal palace," guitarist Ripley Johnson explains. "The darkness of Vol. 1 gave birth to the light of Vol. 2. We had to have both elements in order to complete the cycle. We're releasing them separately to allow them their own space, and to ensure clarity of vision. To that end we also mixed Vol. 2 separately, in the height of Portland summer, focusing on its sonic qualities of lightness, air, and sun. Listeners can ultimately use the two volumes individually or together, depending on circumstance or the desired effect."
