With their seventh LP ‘Stars Are The Light’ out September 27th on the Sacred Bones label, Portland group Moon Duo have shared their new single ‘Lost Heads’. Inspired by the early 90s rave era and the sound of disco, the track is dreamy in texture, as the blissful instrumentation plays for over six minutes in length. The vocals are sparse throughout the song, however, they are airy and easing, adding another heavenly layer.

Touching on the musical direction of the new album which includes disco, Moon Duo’s Sanae Yamada said:

“It’s something we hadn’t referenced in our music before, but its 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.”
