Moon Duo have released one last single, “Eternal Shore,” ahead of their upcoming album The Stars Are the Light, which is out September 27 via Sacred Bones.
About the song, Moon Duo’s Sanae Yamada said, “The lyrics are about the search for a sense of belonging and for the truth of one’s inner being, beneath the masks we’re conditioned to wear in order to function in society.”
Ripley Johnson of the band added about the upcoming album, “we were experimenting with a lot of different rhythms for this record, and this one is in 5/8ths time, which is a real departure for us. It moves us further away from the classic motorik beat. And it’s special because it’s the first song on which Sanae wrote the lyrics and sings lead.”
