Well hey there! tom from moongrass here, reporting from the distant future…
It’s been TEN YEARS to the day since Moongrass released our second album Shadow in the Country. It’s absolutely bizarre to look back at 2015 from where I’m sitting today, to think about the creative moment we found ourselves in as a band, to think about the community and the scene we were part of, to think about the people and spaces we’ve lost and gained and the ways my life has shifted.
I have been staying up nights over the last couple months working on some cassette tapes to commemorate this album’s birthday. I bought some blank tapes, stamped them at my kitchen table, reworked the album art that Don did for us way back when, and sat and dubbed these 25 tapes 3 at a time. It was an interesting meditation on this album and the passage of time, which I wrote about over at ogsrecords.com
It was apparently too long and full of big feelings to post here so please go ahead and visit the blog. And tapes are available to buy at moongrass.bandcamp.com
Thank you for listening to this album and reading my words. Thank you to my moongrass boys, to everyone who helped us make this record, and to everyone who helped us make this band. Long live Moongrass.
❤ tom
