Moon Duo - "Cold Fear"

Photo by Howard Wise

The first song off Moon Duo's upcoming album, Occult Architecture Vol. 1 is weird. "Cold Fear" is a very stripped down electronic song, almost minimalist. But it's not post punk or new wave at all. It's the kind of electronic music an old hippie would come out with, which means it's both minimalistic and trippy as hell. That combination is not an easy feat. Plus, there's just enough noise kicking around throughout the entire song to remind me of Sonic Youth's late 90s psychedelic period. That's a lot to pack into a five minute song, but it works.

You can listen to "Cold Fear" below. Moon Duo's fourth album, Occult Architecture Vol. 1, is due out February 3rd on Sacred Bones. You can pre-order the album via Bandcamp.
