MOON BRAIN
announce debut mini album and new single
‘PLISKIN’
.
.
After touring the country for three years as the front man for indie stalwarts Nantes, David Rogers returns with his new project Moon Brain and a mini-album in tow.
Nantes released two EP’s and a debut album, which spawned the indie hits ‘Fly’, ‘Unsatisfy’ and ‘Drones’. In 2016 (with the band on a break), Rogers began work on Moon Brain – writing and recording with Simon Todkill at Sydney’s 301 Studios. Impressively, Rogers took on multiple roles as songwriter and co-producer, tracking all vocals and playing most of the instruments on all seven tracks. Long time friend Jonathan Boulet contributed drums to round out the recording.

The songs were then mixed in part by Todkill at Miloco Studios in London and Tony Doogan at Castle of Doom in Scotland.
First single ‘Pliskin’ (released August 18) is Rogers’ most anthemic work to date, complete with soaring guitars hooks and waves of analogue synthesiser — a nod to European synth heroes Apparat and Air.
.
Moon Brain is derived from the lunar theory (otherwise known as the lunar effect), and references the correlation between moon cycles and human behaviour. Moon Brain’s self-titled mini album will be released via Deadhand Music/MGM on Friday, September 8, – fortuitously coinciding with the next full moon.
Moon Brain will launch their new music with a live show at Coogee Diggers supporting Wolf & Cub on September 15.
With Moon Brain’s debut, Rogers displays once again his huge appetite for creating songs full of dynamics and finely crafted layers of sounds.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
