Moon Goose
Murmurations
'Murmurations' is Moon Goose's fourth LP, recorded and mixed at Twin Peaks Studio, Wales, by Adam Fuest (Mott The Hoople, Babyshambles, The Cure) and published by Fruits De Mer Records and Inflatable Tarmac Records. The eight tracks featured in 'Murmurations' were whispered by the Barn to the band on dark, icy nights, disturbing the quietness of the Welsh countryside with unrestricted turmoil. Moon Goose put space, psych, prog, and motorik in a bag, shook it, poked it, and burned it, then spread the ashes from the top of the Welsh Mountains with the wind in their faces until their eyes were crying black tears. 'Murmurations' describe a natural phenomenon in which a large group of starlings fly in unison using complex laws of movement depending on the relative birds around each individual. This behaviour can be observed on land in herds and under the sea in schools of fish. They are the natural answer of the collective facing a common danger. What seems to be engineered by the mind of one leader is actually generated by every individual's awareness of the group, working together towards their collective fate. There must be a lesson there. Moon Geese (mean geese) murmurations are very rare because there aren't any predators on the Moon except for a few quickly gone humans and a couple multilingual slow bots on wheels.
