Moon Duo 'Escape: Expanded Edition' (Pink Vinyl LP)To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Moon Duos long out of print debut LP Escape, Sacred Bones is proud to present a new deluxe version of the album. The new reissue will include the original album in its entirety, plus three additional rare tracks taken from Moon Duos wild early days. Reflecting on the album in March 2020, the band shared the following statement: We made this record in a rehearsal space in San Francisco in late 2009. It was kind of

analog synthesis/sequencing and found sound on "Dear Grandma and Grandpa") and structural ideas (the extended formal procedures of "Djed"

Umberto’s early recordings harken back to classic synth-driven sci-fi and horror soundtracks
