20th Dream of Dr Sardonicus Documentary!

20th Dream of Dr Sardonicus Documentary!

9 September 2024 - in

We had a blast in Cardigan, as usual! It felt really good to see familiar faces. It was our first gig with Ellis since Dave fell off his goose, and it went smoothly. The set was a mix of oldies and not so oldies including the first partial live rendition of Rhesus David. Check out this documentary done by Ramon Piserra, featuring all the bands of the festival including us for Second Life live and an interview.

New Review for Live at the Globe (2018)

Here is a little extract of a new review for Live at the Globe, released 6 years ago!!
I just came across this excellent live and direct album from the English Moon Goose with their Live at the Globe 2018, and the best of all is that it lasts short, is instrumental and not boring, managed to catch me at first listen with such excellent musical ideas. Stop by to read this short review and learn more about Moon Goose, turn the damn volume up! 🇬🇧🇬🇧“

If you would like to listen to our latest album in its entirety without using streaming services, here is a 42 minutes long video with the complete album for your appreciation. As usual the visuals might either torment you or make you go to hidden places of your mind and of the universe because it’s all the same, really.

Enjoy!

Music

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.

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.

La Nuit

2022- La Nuit

“Nuit où meurent l’azur, les bruits et les contours,
Où les vives clartés s’éteignent une à une,
Ô nuit, urne profonde où les cendres du jour
Descendent mollement et dansent à la lune.”
(Anna de Noailles)

This LP features 8 tracks of musical weirdness and we have tried really hard to channel the goose in each one of use and let them express their feelings. This is also our first collaboration with (tangible) Leon West and we’re very excited about the result.

The Wax Monster Lives Behind the First Row of Trees

2020- The Wax Monster Lives Behind the First Row of Trees

The Wax Monster Lives Behind the First Rows of Trees occupies a liminal space: between EP and album, between Iowa and Hanoi, between druid and mushroom, between life before COVID and life after it.

Full of secret communications, the record is best understood as a piece of bricolage held together by a childhood ghost, manifesting in such diverse places as a Vietnamese Banknote and an imaginary cave on the Iowa border.

Live at the Globe

2018- Live at the Globe

Recorded live in our hometown of Hay-on-Wye, Wales, Live at the Globe delivers a live version of a selection of tracks from our first EP and first album. The subtle production of the studio is here replaced by the raw madness of the live show for a visual and audio experience out of the ordinary.

Space Probe Shut Down

2017- Space Probe Shut Down

Space Probe Shut Down is the perfect introduction to the weird universe of Moon Goose. 3 tracks for more than 20 minutes of strange Space Rock mixed with a hint of Psychedelia and a strange smell of Krautrock. The bird spread its wings in the barn and flapped loudly to generate those shockwaves.

      About

      Moon Goose put Space, Psych, Prog and Motorik in a bag, shook it, poked it, burned it, then spread the ashes from the top of the Welsh Mountains with the wind in their face until their eyes were crying black tears.

      It’s the sound of a dragon colliding with an asteroid.

      If you enjoy things like gneiss, spores, and strange ideas followed through to an illogical conclusion, you’ll love Moon goose.
