Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded entirely with his touring band (featuring My Bloody Valentine's Deb Googe and longtime Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley), Moore delves into expansive, spiritual guitar rock. The album consists of just five lengthy tracks centered around hypnotic, motorik rhythms, alternate tunings, and themes of mystical love and matriarchal energy. It serves as a surprisingly optimistic, deeply atmospheric entry in his solo catalog.
