From a preoccupation with the transcendental and occult that informed Ripley Johnson and Sanae Yamada's guitar-driven psych rock, and reached it's apotheosis in the acclaimed Occult Architecture diptych, Stars Are the Light sees the band synthesize the abstract and metaphysical with the embodied and terrestrial. Says Yamada: \"We have changed, the nature of our collaboration has changed, the world has changed, and we wanted the new music to reflect that.\" Branching out from Occult Architecture Vol. 2, the album has a sonic physicality that is at once propulsive and undulating; it puts dance at the heart of an expansive nexus that connects the body to the stars. These are songs about embodied human experience - love, change, misunderstanding, internal struggle, joy, misery, alienation, discord, harmony, celebration - rendered as a kind of dance of the self, both in relation to other selves and to the eternal dance of the cosmos. Taking disco as it's groove-oriented departure point, Stars Are the Light shimmers with elements of '70s funk and '90s rave. Johnson's signature guitar sound is at it's most languid and refined, while Yamada's synths and oneiric vocals are foregrounded to create a spacious percussiveness that invites the body to move with it's mesmeric rhythms. With Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3, Spectrum) at the mixing desk in Portugal's Serra de Sintra, (known to the Romans as \"The Mountains of the Moon\") the area's lush landscape and powerful lunar energies exerted a strong influence on the vibe and sonic texture of the album. On embracing disco as an inspiration, Yamada says, \"It's something we hadn't referenced in our music before, but it's core concepts really align with what we were circling around as we made the album. Disco is dance music, first and foremost, and we were digging our way into the idea of this endless dance of bodies in nature. We were also very inspired by the space and community of a disco - a space of free self-expression through dance, fashion, and mode of being; where everyone was welcome, diversity was celebrated, and identity could be fluid; where the life force that animates each of us differently could flower.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStars Are the Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFall (In Your Love)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe World and the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost Heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEternal Shore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEye 2 Eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFever Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 843563118986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sacred Bones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.27.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Moon Duo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58254277148753,"sku":"390813","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3705017-2415148.jpg?v=1759471923"},{"product_id":"moon-duo-stars-are-the-light-neon-pink-colored-vinyl-pnk","title":"Stars Are The Light (Neon Pink) [Colored Vinyl] (Pnk)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited pink colored vinyl LP pressing.

Meaning all things magick and supernatural, the root of the word occult is that which is hidden, concealed, beyond the limits of our minds. If this is occult, then the Occult Architecture of Moon Duo's fourth album - a psychedelic opus in two separate volumes released in 2017 - is an intricately woven hymn to the invisible structures found in the cycle of seasons and the journey of day into night, dark into light. Offering a cosmic glimpse into the hidden patterning embedded in everything, Occult Architecture reflects the harmonious duality of these light and dark energies through the Chinese theory of Yin and Yang. In Chinese, Yin means \"the shady side of the hill\" and is associated with the feminine, darkness, night, earth. Following this logic, Vol. 1 embraces and embodies Moon Duo's darker qualities - released appropriately on February 3, in the heart of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Death Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold Fear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreepin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-Town Fade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCult of Moloch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill of the Devil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 843563143315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sacred Bones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.6.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Moon Duo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291250757713,"sku":"12036","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4077258-2809328.jpg?v=1760727133"},{"product_id":"shadow-of-the-sun-blue-colored-vinyl-wht-uk","title":"Shadow Of The Sun (Blue) [Colored Vinyl] (Wht) (Uk)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited blue and white colored vinyl LP pressing.

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.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotorcycle, I Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Trees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStumbling 22nd St\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Little Way Different (Bonus Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatch As Catch Can (Bonus Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet It On Fire (Bonus Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 843563143421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sacred Bones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.13.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Moon Duo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58292634353745,"sku":"505108","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4088796-2822914.jpg?v=1760744392"},{"product_id":"occult-architecture-vol-2-sky-blue-lp","title":"Occult Architecture Vol. 2 (sky Blue) [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited sky blue colored vinyl LP pressing.
