about

When I found the sounds at the heart of Moon Pulses, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I’ve been looking for a way to create an enveloping meditative vibe for years—something that could leave a listener transfixed by texture, or that they could just fall asleep to. Basically, lo-fi Lanois, Eno, and Fripp vibes. There’s some Neil Young and the Edge in there too. Immersive stuff. These came to me while experimenting in my studio, and I needed to respond immediately.

I could basically see the whole plan: Six tracks that blend into each other using only one guitar for rhythm and one for melody, both on the same instrument (except the final lap-steel piece), everything played with my thumb for maximum connection.

I’d just finished my album Digital Reaction. That record was created over the course of a couple years with lots of collaborators, overdubs, and detailed arrangements—the most ambitious production I’ve ever undertaken. After all that hard work, this idea came into my head basically completed, I just had to make it happen. I dove in with a simple strategy to be achieved with limited tools. It felt like a gift. Recording about an hour a day for six consecutive days, I created Moon Pulses.
