Live in Ravenna

Moon Duo's Live in Ravenna was recorded in the summer of 2013 and is available as a limited, one-time vinyl pressing. "Ravenna was memorable for a number of reasons, the most prominent being the really very intense heat, and the setting Hanabi has an outdoor stage on the beach, the Adriatic Sea only meters away," the band's Sanae Yamada explains. "The show that night, and the recording of it, sort of encapsulates everything that was happening at the time the heat wave, the journey, and the shift in the energy and composition of the band."

This live document of a sweaty performance from drone-rock outfit Moon Duo in Ravenna features the first time the band's played as a trio, with John Jeffrey furiously hammering on the same beat for upwards of 10 minutes at a time. You can feel all that sweat and humidity dripping off this recording, which corrodes the skillfully sculpted fuzz and laser-like rhythmic precision of their studio albums with enough grease and grime to constitute a fire hazard.
