The Moon Band are certainly a duo I expect big things from upon hearing their debut single ‘Cedar People’ b/w ‘Home’. Psych-folk is probably the nearest label that you can be applied with both tracks sitting neatly alongside material from period comp ‘Gather in the Mushrooms’.

Both Nicholas Tomlinson and Renee Forrester are clearing very talented playing a host of instruments and singing with Renee taking lead vocals. ‘Cedar People’ has strains of Tull (well flute does take centre stage), early Kate Bush and maybe a smidgen of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Nicholas and Renee hail from Canada and ‘My Home’ echoes Blue era Joni Mitchell – it’s really lovely stuff.

I understand this is a taster for their forthcoming album and if it’s anything near these two songs it’s going to be excellent:
