Mooch Announce New Single “The Start”; Album Coming Soon
Heralding their follow-up to 2020’s full-length Hounds (discussed here), yet untitled, Montreal heavy rock trio Mooch unveil “The Start” as a first of three singles from their sophomore LP. When that’s out, what it’s called, and various other details about its making and release — well, I just don’t know. But I’ve heard the track and it’s under three minutes, has an easy roll like earliest Queens of the Stone Age with a bit of the swagger necessary to pull that off, reminding a bit of Heavy Glow in the process, but en route to having their own spin. As regards beginnings, “The Start” is an auspicious one.
You might recall Hounds was recorded by Brant Bjork in the California desert. “The Start” and presumably the album from whence it comes were tracked under different circumstances, but Mooch clearly learned some lessons on how to be heavy and laid back at the same time from the experience. You can hear that in “The Start” for sure. As soon as I find out more about the LP, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, the single releases Aug. 25, which is this Friday.
Info from the PR wire:
MOOCH – THE START
‘The Start’ is a song inspired by the effort it takes to continuously grow in a relationship. It is a song about MOOCH finding a way to pave a new path forward. Running at 2:57 minutes long, ‘The Start’ lays down a heavy rock groove complete with hand-perc accented sections, stacked vocal harmonies and an eccentric solo section.
The song’s release will be the first of 3 singles, set to come out August 25th, 2023, on all streaming platforms. Promotion will follow the narrative of their latest trip to Yellowknife, Canada. Promo will include professional images and video content for paid ads on socials, a music video shot at the YK Airport, footage from their performance at Folk on the Rocks Festival and a vinyl release for the upcoming record. Lastly, an Eastern Canadian Fall Tour is set to follow the release of the full album.
