Moon Hooch - The Joshua Tree (2017)

Recorded/mixed/mastered by Moon Hooch in a cabin at Joshua Tree National Park.

"We rented a house and set up a little studio in the Mojave desert just outside of Joshua Tree National Park. We got together in the same room with our instruments and said, “Let’s just hit it” and started playing whatever came to our minds. Somehow this process created eight songs. Don’t ask us where they came from, but we certainly enjoyed bringing them to this planet." – Wenzl McGowen

“Joshua Tree National Park was an incredibly inspiring atmosphere which helped to open up our minds and ears. Every day we would hike the dead sandstone mountains and take in the dry desert air, allowing for a new type of musical expression we’ve never experienced before. After a few days of struggling to compose things individually we decided to get together and create spontaneously. Images of desert animals and Joshua Trees flashed before my eyes while new sounds emerged from our instruments.” – Michael Wilbur
