Milky Chance - Mind The Moon (2019)

MIND THE MOON (produced by longti me collaborator Tobias Kuhn) is the third album from MILKY CHANCE — childhood friends Phillipp Dausch and Clemens Rehbein — and serves as a disti llati on of their songwriti ng spirit. Pulling back from the layered, polyphonic approach of 2017’s BLOSSOM — itself a change-up from the sleek minimalism of their breakout debut Sadnecessary, which produced the global smash “Stolen Dance” — MIND THE MOON strikes an infecti ous balance of melody and atmosphere. The record’s many moods, from the pop-gospel fusion of LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO collaborati on “Eden’s House” to the dancehall-steeped “Fado,” are a result of Dausch and Rehbein’s unique arti sti c relati onship, and trace a lifeti me of musical infl uences ranging from reggae and rock to hip-hop, electronica, gospel, and musical styles from around the globe
