about

Moonrise shows a natural progression from Helix, the last recorded offering from Chris Russell and Erik Norman. While the meditatively formless soundscapes of Helix are still apparent in “Dreamland,” tracks such as “Event Horizon” and “Through The Prism” demonstrate a greater use of melodic and chordal structures. Acoustic instruments have also been added to the mix, ranging from the drum circle field recording in the titular “Moonrise” to the frenetic abuse of piano strings in the aptly titled “Scrape.”

Taken as a whole, the album manages to run the gamut of emotions, from tensely claustrophobic to calmly serene, and from quietly contemplative to joyously exuberant. Let it guide you on your ultimate voyage, whether it be inward or beyond the stars..
