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.

Formed in San Francisco in 2009 by Wooden Shijps guitarist Ripley Johnson and his partner, Sanae Yamada, Moon Duo's first two critically acclaimed EPS, Killing Time (2009) and Escape (2010), fused the futuristic pylon hum and transistor reverb of Suicide or Silver Apples with the heat-haze fuzz of american rock 'n' roll to create tracks of blistering, 12-cylinder space rock. Now their debut album Mazes, recorded in San Francisco and mixed in Berlin during 2010 as the band prepared to move to the mountains of Colorado, explores a far broader, lighter, sound. That's most clear on the dreamy organ and skipping riff of the title track, which recalls the Velvet Underground, or the handclaps and swinging organ bloops over the potent shredding and guttural riff delivered by Johnson in 'when you cut'. Throughout, Mazes is the sound of Moon Duo carving out their own identity, looking to the horizon, and moving forward.
