Takes a lot to push our instrumental buttons these days.... Moonlit are poking the shit out of us
Blissfully raw!
Track Breakdown:
1. For We Have Seen (12:29) Standout Track
Unfiltered majestic beauty. The grooves and melodies on this track are jaw dropping.
2. Empty Sky/Cold Nights (11:24)
Most relaxing of the lot. David Tade does a wonderful job on violin. Middle Eastern inflection. Fusion sludge string.
3. Shine In The Darkest Night (14:10)
Innovative background happenings with insanely good baseline undercurrent. This is a wild entangled ride.
4. And We Stood Still Until We Became, Invisible (17:36)
This track is otherworldly. Escapism and landscapes abound. So much texture and contrast.
Brew Pairing
‘Misty Morning’ is a Bob Marley song, but the name this Italian craft beer is inspired by the foggy fall mornings of Padua…. this Italian NEIPA by Busa dei Briganti brewery is insanely good. 7% ABV. ‘Misty Morning’ has intense aroma with custard and exotic fruit (a touch of coconut is definitely detectible, pineapple), white peach and nectarine. Soft dank, pale malt, bread.
