the fifth anniversary of a special album slipped us by, but we’re coming with some love surrounding the six year anniversary of ’s only the blues 🌀
after immersing in electronic production and sound design at music school, a relocation to los angeles inspired moon (real name!) to embrace his inner songwriter. the creation of only the blues began with a chance encounter with an ancient drum machine, which past-futurist rhythms became the album’s backbone
self-recorded in cramped bedrooms in la and boston, with soundproofing nailed to the doors and mattresses pressed against walls, only the blues took on a captivating, anxious quality as moon layered his sleepy, sweet voice over pools of tape hiss and reverb-soaked rhythms
the album arrived in rvng’s demo pile with a note that read, “i recorded these songs in my room. i’m not sure what to do with them.” six years on, and several releases later, we were humbled to play a small role in helping dylan figure out what to do, and only the blues remains a label all-timer 🌙
