Mountain Movers – “The Sun Shines on the Moon (edit)”

Must be a good day because New Haven’s long-running lysergic pop purveyors Mountain Movers are back with news of their ninth (9th!) album this spring. The band lets us into their heady hollow on the back half of a two part mind-flayer, “The Sun Shines On The Moon.” While the album embraces, more than ever, the polar pull of the band’s vocal crushers and the cosmic wander of their more exploratory albums, the first single embraces the lyrical side of the divide. This time around the band are Düül and Dü all in one. They conjure Bevis Frond laced with a touch of Movietone’s dazed n’ hazed veneer and Bardo’s creosote aftertaste. The first cut growls until it hits a bleary groove, underpinned by hand percussion, squinting at the sun with a sigh that borders on the sublime. The new album, Walking After Dark, is out May 17th from Trouble in Mind.
