About Moon TaxiOnce again ready to push the boundaries of their genre, Nashville based indie alt-rock band Moon Taxi is back with their sixth full length album, Set Yourself Free. With tracks ranging from rock to synth to pop to bluegrass, the new lineup showcases what 15 years as a band gets you: a polished, classic sound without fear of exploration. The five-member group- vocalist/guitarist Trevor Terndrup, lead guitarist Spencer Thomson, bassist Tommy Putnam, keyboardist Wes Bailey, and drummer Tyler Ritter- stepped back into their roots to create an album primarily written and recorded by themselves and set for release on their own label, 12th South Records.
“It was really rewarding for each of us. The last record had quite a few co-writes- this record did not. We challenged ourselves to write most of the material on our own and that’s really something to hang your hat on these days when you typically hire an outside writer or producer,” said Bailey on the band’s creative process. “We really tried to look inward and do a lot of that on our own.” Remote collaboration on Set Yourself Free started for the group during the pandemic, but 15 years of working together made that transition a smooth one.
Despite a more fragmented process, the band regards Set Yourself Free as more reminiscent of their early work, citing it as fresh and exciting. Ritter believes they have a fan favorite on their hands- something that will re-energize the old fan-base as well as draw in new listeners. Without a set sound in mind, the group was free to mold the record into what feels like an authentic Moon Taxi album.
About Pernikoff Brothers
Pernikoff Brothers are a modern folk-rock trio from St. Louis, composed of songwriters Tom and Rick Pernikoff, along with drummer Kevin Bowers. On May 27th, 2024, the trio achieved a career milestone by recording a live album at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. Known for their eclectic sound that draws comparisons to iconic acts like Dave Matthews Band, The Police, and Simon & Garfunkel, the Pernikoff Brothers effortlessly transition from expansive, full-bodied songs that sound larger than life to stripped-down acoustic performances highlighted by brotherly harmonies and heartfelt lyrics.
