PRESS RELEASE
=============

Radio Edit of track from the new album 'Anaphora' to be released October 22nd 2021

Mood Taeg (pronounced Mood Tag) is a three-piece Scottish/German musical project split between Düsseldorf and Shanghai. The band name, a term in functional linguistics, is a reference to their day jobs, while the album title Anaphora, meaning reference to that which preceded, or came before, is a further nod to linguistics, and their own musical evolution.
​
Mood Taeg have been described as Neo-Krautrock, combining a contemporary take on the lange gerade drumming style of Klaus Dinger and Jaki Liebezeit with the melodic sensibilities and tones of Michael Rother and Kraftwerk. However, outside of their Krautrock roots, they also cite John Carpenter, Philip Glass, Mastermind Herbie, The Beach Boys, Isao Tomita, LFO, Roy Ayers, Ennio Morricone, and Airto Moreira as musical influences. Production-wise, they look to the work of Conny Plank, Greg Wilson, and Brian Eno for inspiration.

The band self-produce all of their music back and forth between their Shanghai and Düsseldorf studios and are part of the wider Mood Taeg Kollektiv which includes musicians, graffiti artists, DJs, photographers, painters, and video artists. They also maintain their Scottish connection through collaborations with artists such as Dundee poet Andrew French.
 
On this new album, Mood Taeg have built on their well-received debut, Exophora. And while some motorik elements remain, patterns generally eschew repetition and evolve organically within tracks. Emphasis has also moved on from the subtle vocal textures found on Exophora, to stronger, more prominent vocal elements featuring poets (Christopher Logue), cultural critics (Michael Parenti), film makers (Alan P. Chilchier), and trade union activists (Jimmy Reid), who reflect their political, social, and cultural views.

The debut album 'Exophora' received acclaim from the likes of Prog, Electronic Sound Magazine, The Dorf, Last Day Deaf, The Electricity Club, Freq Joyzine and more with radio play on BBC Scotland and BBC 6 Music.

MOOD TAEG: Squirrels Dancing Among Elephants (Shanghai Radio Edit)

Listen to "Killers of the Early Morning" here: https://band.link/bethannmcdowellkotem

Over the course of several months last summer, Beth Ann McDowell made a conscious decision to return to her roots in complex, rich lyrics, and giving more depth to her songwriting as she began to work on her album, “The Sim Is Real.”  The single is produced by R. Walt Vincent who has worked with some of indie’s greatest: Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, and Scarlett Johansson to name a few.  In tune with that came the natural gravitation toward recording an album in an organic way, with session musicians in a recording that captured the spirit of the moment all at once. Her first single off of the album, “Killers Of The Early Morning”, captures the sort of eerie dream-like vibe that permeates through the entire record.  With unquestionably dark lyrics, the song recollects the common experience most of us have lived: giving all that we have to give, and it is still not enough.

Lyrics

Come one, come all
Take a glimpse, tag along
Follow the light that is shining in
And I'll be your guide
Deliver truths I'd rather hide
With innocent warmth of a messenger
And if you get lost
No matter the cost
Follow the light to the entryway
Drop in now and then
If you could use a friend
I know I can spare the energy

Away...
Away from home
Your comfort zone
Look toward the light that is shining in
If you need a guide
Spilling truths they'd rather hide
Step out of harm's way with this messenger
And if you get lost
No matter the cost
Follow the light to the entryway
Drop in now and then
If you could use a friend
I know I can spare the energy

Speleogenesis

I left my wallet at the tacobell drive thru and we're low on gas
