Portland psych outfit Moon Duo — helmed by guitarist Ripley Johnson and keyboardist Sanae Yamada — are releasing their fourth album, Occult Architecture, Vol. 1, February 3 on Sacred Bones Records. Within it you'll find thrilling hallucinatory riffs and undertones of Das Ding-type darkness.
With the announce, Moon Duo is sharing "Cold Fear," a haunting, exhilarating song with hints of '80s minimal electro no wave. Over email, Johnson told The FADER that the track "is about primal fear, like drowning, or falling endlessly in a nightmare. It's a creeping, striking feeling that is also a real rush. It makes you feel alive.” Listen below.
