Moon Duo is a psychedelic rock band formed in 2009 by Wooden Shjips guitarist Ripley Johnson and Sanae Yamada. Originally from San Francisco, California, the band has since relocated to Portland, Oregon. With their unique blend of mesmerizing keyboards, powerful guitar and vocals, and dynamic drumming by John Jeffrey, Moon Duo creates a captivating sound that takes listeners on a cosmic journey through space and time.

Led by Sanae Yamada on keyboards and Ripley Johnson on guitar and vocals, Moon Duo's music combines elements of psychedelic rock with experimental soundscape. Their hypnotic melodies and pulsating rhythms transport audiences into a trance-like state, while their thought-provoking lyrics explore themes of spirituality, consciousness, and the mysteries of the universe.

Since their formation, Moon Duo has gained critical acclaim for their innovative approach to psychedelic rock. They have released several studio albums and performed at renowned music festivals around the world. With each new release, they continue to push boundaries and redefine what it means to create immersive sonic experiences.

Back In Stock

Circles, the second full length album from Moon Duo. Circles is the product of a long winter's isolation in the rocky mountains, though the road to its fruition stretched over six months and several locations. The groundwork for the album was laid at the band's home in blue river, Colorado in the early months of 2012, where all songs were written, and the preliminary tracks recorded. For two weeks in early April, Moon Duo moved into a small apartment above lucky cat recordings in San Francisco for an additional recording session with engineer Phil Manley. Like it's predecessor, the album was mixed and tweaked at Kaiku studios in Berlin. Inspiration for many of the songs themes, as well as the title Circles, came from Ralph waldo Emerson's 1841 essay by the same name, On the symbol and nature of 'the flying perfect.' from the opening lines: "the eye is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end." and so it goes. rust never sleeps.
