New album “Crude Culture” out now:
“Facing life head-on is the central theme of the album. The songs are lyrically melancholy, but the melodic musical arrangements create a balance that soothes.” - Albuquerque Journal
“Crude Culture” features a spectrum, from minimal Prophet compositions like “Sky Burial” to the fully formed rock operatics of its title track. In between, No Water No Moon has molded a unique blend of multi-part harmonies, vocoder gymnastics, raga gamak (musical ornamentation), synthesizers and strings, distorted organs and drum machines into something both familiar and strange to the American song tradition.
