Moon Duo/Jackie Lynn

We’re catching Moon Duo in between releases of a two-volume collection of tunes. February’s Occult Architecture Vol. 1 establishes a fresh and major foothold for the nearly decade-old band. They’ve said before that this 2017 material is a step away from their earlier “genre tropes,” and we’ve excited to dig in to psych rockers like “Cross-Town Fade” and “Will of the Devil.” These two volumes are intricately crafted, with the first one embodying the dark side of a yin-yang dichotomy and the next one feeling warmer. (Occult Architecture Vol. 2 drops next month.) “Sevens,” one of the new tunes, pairs some nice, pulsing percussion with a droning synth line. It’s a fuzzy, dreamy throwback to the sort of fringe-pop that you heard more in the late 1980s, and it’s entirely of its own world. (Eric Sandy)
