Moon Piano (Vinyl)

Product Description

A companion volume to the ‘Sun Piano’ album, this LP was recorded at the same session in a Brooklyn Church. Whereas the former record lent itself to the more uplifting side of Laraaji’s keyboard improvisations, ‘Moon Piano’ explores the more introspective and minimal pieces captured by Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, The War On Drugs, Mary Lattimore) and edited by Christian Havins (Dallas Acid). 

Laraaji describes this set of tracks as “Contemplative sound painting, embracing quiet tranquil unfolding of nurturing reflection.” Whilst ‘Moon Piano’ almost shades into melancholy with a contrasting night-time vibe to ‘Sun Piano’s daytime joyfulness, certain themes from the first record reoccur - side two’s ‘Pentatonic Smile’ is a longer edit on the central riff underpinning the former album’s ‘Temple Of New Light’.
