Moon Duo - Escape: Expanded Edition '2020

Tracks list

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Moon Duo’s long-out-of-print debut
LP Escape, Sacred Bones is proud to present a new deluxe version of the album.
The new reissue will include the original album in its entirety, plus three
additional rare tracks taken from Moon Duo’s wild early days. Reflecting
on the album in March 2020, the band shared the following statement:

“We made this record in a rehearsal space in San Francisco in late 2009.
It was kind of a classic band space, shared by a rangy assortment of musicians
over months and years, behind one of several similar doors in a dark red hall. A
windowless room lit by string lights and an odd assortment of lamps, the walls a
palimpsest of posters and gig fliers. There was a grimy, burn-pocked rug,
cluttered gear in various stages of use and abandonment, and the air seemed to
hang in a permanent film of smoke residue and stale beer. We recorded to a
4-track tape machine over the course of a few nights - we’d just start
the beats, hit ‘record’ and let fly. We had a vague sense of
coalescence, or fomentation, like a glimpse of a thing in outline which you
can’t yet see, but neither of us knew at the time that this was the
record that would mark the beginning of our life as a touring band and would
initiate our connections to so many (now long-time) friends, familiars and
collaborators. Ten years feels like both a lifetime and the blink of an eye -
measurable but impossible to quantify. These four tracks, and the others that
join them here, are a snapshot of our earliest incarnation: flying blind, but
high on the freedom of experimentation and filled with hope for things to
come.”
