R&B Garage Punk Band's Seventh Full-Length on Vinyl LP!

TAS Rated 4.5/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics in the September 2024 Issue of The Absolute Sound!

The Moon Is in the Wrong Place is an upbeat, yet poignant narrative on grief and resilience from Shannon and the Clams. Woven from the threads of devastating loss and communal ties in the aftermath of profound loss – the sudden passing of Shannon's fianceé just months before their wedding – this record unfolds as the Clams' most introspective to date.

With Dan Auerbach's production, the album delves deep into themes of heartache and healing, and showcases the band's trademark wry psychedelia, energetic nostalgia, and flourishes of retro beauty.

It's a tribute to the power of art and community to triumph over tragedy, and a milestone in Shannon and the Clams' venerable oeuvre.

Auerbach brings a robust sound, and such songs as 'So Close, Yet So Far' and the psych-tinged title track, both buoyed by Shannon's raspy vocals, surge with references to art, nature, healing and beauty. 'The Vow' namechecks Mr. Sandman and sports a cheesy organ, a spoken chorus, and a Latin rhythm. 'Dali's Clock' has a playful 60s vibe. A soulful Motown beat drives the romantic romp 'Bean Fields.' And 'Golden Brown' would have fit comfortably on the B-side of a Shangri-Las single.
-Greg Cahill, The Absolute Sound, September 2024, Music 4.5/5, Sonics 4/5
