Bad Moon Rising

Bad Moon Rising is a hallucinatory descent into the shadows of the American landscape, trading the claustrophobic concrete of New York City for a wider, more mythic sense of dread. It sounds like a ghost story told through the medium of tape hiss and detuned electric guitars. The album is defined by its seamless flow, where crystalline arpeggios suddenly dissolve into murky, one-chord drones that feel like they could go on forever. It is a record of textures: the meowing slide lines that mimic a distant siren, the dry thud of the percussion, and the deadpan vocal deliveries that sound like they are being whispered from a dark corner.
