"San Francisco's Moon Duo was formed in 2009 by Sanae Yamada and Erik
Johnson (Wooden Shjips). Inspired initially by the legendary duo of
John Coltrane and Rashied Ali, Moon Duo counts such variant groups as
Silver Apples, Royal Trux, Moolah, Suicide, and Cluster as
touchstones. Utilizing primarily guitar, keyboards, percussion and
vocals, the duo plays space against form to create a primordial and
disorienting sonic stew. The group released two acclaimed records in
2009: the debut 12″ single, Love on the Sea, on Sick Thirst, and the
Killing Time EP on Sacred Bones. Their follow-up long-player, Escape,
on Woodsist, marks the fullest realization yet of the young group's
evolving sound."
