Poor Moon



Out with the old and in with the new: modern music continues to advance, and surprisingly (or not) often winds up back at its roots again.  Here's a video from an October 18 set at New York's 2012 CMJ festival by the Seattle band Poor Moon, a side project of members of Fleet Foxes, that builds on the vocal tradition of past generation bands like the Beach Boys and the Moody Blues.

The Poor Moon tour brought them to Atlanta on October 25, where they played  a warm and wonderful late-night set at 529.  Photos of that show, below.





Poor Moon's music is defined by their sense of harmony and inventive instrumentation.  To give you more of an idea of that sound, here's a video of Poor Moon that I found on the band's Facebook page performing their song Bucky Pony at Vancouver's Media Club back on September 22.
