Static Caravan has found its niche in the more folk strains of experimental indie and electronic sounds, but the occasional band on the roster steps outside this for a more straight up rock sound. The Yellow Moon Band deliver two sides with their own psychedelic take on instrumental rock, big guitar licks and experimental noodlings, solid to the fore drums, and plenty of texture and colour to make this a good introduction to their sound for the uninitiated. Be quick to snap this up, The Yellow Moon Band 7” releases never last long, their first two 7” vinyl releases now going for handsome prices on the internet. Check out their releases at www.staticcaravan.org.
As usual packaged with nice art by Ben Javens, pressed on translucent yellow 7” vinyl, Static Caravan remain one of the few truly independent indie/folk/electronic/rock labels, every release is special in its own way.
