The Moondoggies new album A Love Sleeps Deep came out last Friday (4/13/18). It’s brilliant! Mesmerizing and perfect in so many ways… have to review the whole album soon. They are their own thing, have their own sound, yet follow in the footsteps of pre-Dark Side Pink Floyd and the psychedelic Bay Area bands of the late 1960’s.
Do you love the sound of organ, piano, synthesizers, most keyboards, as part of a rock band? I gotta have the guitar, drums, and bass, but love the sweetening, the atmosphere, washes, and subtler backgrounds of the synths and organs – and the more foreground and percussive contributions of the piano as well. Gimme keyboards!
The Moondoggies incorporate a pretty sweet organ sound alongside their chiming lead guitar, noodly rhythm, and Laurel Canyon-esque harmony vocals, giving them a lush, full sound that recalls bygone eras, yet creates a haunting and beautiful moment in the here and now. The new album is hitting me in a big way only a few listens in – who needs a review? Just dive into A Love Sleeps Deep!
Check out the song that leads off the album, “Easy Coming” – hope you love it like I do.
A Love Sleeps Deep is out now on Hardly Art. And it’s brilliant!
