As you grow older, you begin to have a strange relationship with new music that reminds you of your favourite bands. Disdainful, dismissive, 'Seen and heard it all before' and so forth. Then, just very occasionally, slightly euphoric, when despite the unmistakable, overwhelming imprint of influence that might as well have been branded on the young artist's forehead, they still get it very much right. Portland, Oregon's Moon Duo from their current album Shadow of the Sun. Sure they love Suicide. But so should everybody. This is remarkably spirited, freewheeling Rock and Roll whichever way you hold it up to the light!
