In July 2011, Moon High pleased folk-vibe-feeling audiences with Six Suns, which is the only album I own that my girlfriend gets up to spin. So, they’re a little bit sentimental in my life. On top of that, they remind me of autumn in Columbus, OH, where I went to university, and you know EVERYONE likes the fall. Oh, they also formed in Columbus, OH. And I’ve probably seen Moon High play live at STRICTLY the best spots: a dingy Columbus basement in low light, a venue where a tree trunk grew straight through the low-light center of the audience, and at a giant studio in Bushwick where rent was crazy low and lights were still… low. Or maybe my memory makes the lights low. Yo, and I think I made g-beats with them foot pedals that the flautist is taping on in the videos below!
Welp, I’m super jacked Moon High got involved with The Mug & Brush Sessions, who popped two new videos of their tracks “All in a Line” and “Already There” off their up-coming album Take it Down. The Mug & Brush Sessions is a collaboration between the Columbus Mug & Brush barbershop owner Jim Morris, audio engineer Keith Hanlon’s Scioto Music, and the video crew from FWD: Video & Social Branding. The intention of the series is to create an intimate take on national and local musicians in a vintage-type of environment. “All in a Line” features some smooth walking-drumming, slinking guitar strumming, and a refreshing turn of events toward the end of the song. “Already There” freshes some fine fluting, deep bass pedals and drumming, finite lyrics, and tender picks of the string.
