Moholy-Nagy - Like Mirage (Vinyl LP, CD)

Debut album from new band featuring members of tarentel, the alps, the drift, lazarus, jonas reinhardt and mi ami.  recorded and mixed by phil manley (trans am, the fucking champs) riyl: brian eno, cluster, tarentel, eluvium, maserati. Moholy-Nagy is the moniker of San Francisco / Berlin-based musicians Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (The Alps), Danny Paul Grody (The Drift) and Trevor Montgomery (Lazarus, The Drift). The trio are the founding members of Tarentel – a group that helped inspired a decade’s worth of widescreen ambient rock – and Like Mirage reunites them for the first time since that group's sophomore album, The Order of Things, was released almost a decade ago. Recorded and mixed by Phil Manley of Trans Am and The Fucking Champs, Like Mirage is the culmination of many months of improvisation, exploration and a few scattered live performances in the Bay Area. Although beginning with no particular sound or vision in mind, the group’s interest slowly began to revolve around electric bass, analogue synthesizers, and the steady pulse of the drum machine. Expanding their pallet while in the recording studio to include piano, acoustic and electric guitars and the live drums of Damon Palermo (Jonas Reinhardt, Mi Ami), the group bottled a vibrant landscape that recalls the late 70's explosion of cosmic and new age music as if it were a sunset descending on the damp streets of San Francisco.
