To cover any Sabbath song is a big ask, but to make it twice as long as the original is just downright improper….or is it!!! Moon Duo tickles your senses with their otherworldly rendition of Black Sabbath’s 1970 Planet Caravan, exchanging the psychotropic for the cosmic as they transpose this classic into a weightless and rather sensual dream!
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of both the self-titled Black Sabbath album and Paranoid, Sacred Bones is proud to present ‘What Is This That Stands Before Me?‘, a compilation of Sabbath covers recorded by artists from across their roster. As described on the albums info page, “Black Sabbath stands at the crossroads of every Sacred Bones employee and artist’s musical taste, and it was a great pleasure for us to work together to re-imagine some of their most beloved songs. Here you’ll find Sabbath through the filter of the post-Soviet darkwave of Molchat Doma, the experimental folk of Hilary Woods, the laid-back psych of Moon Duo, and a half dozen more genres besides. Satan’s coming ’round the bend.”
The record was released a couple of months ago and features nine tracks from an interesting array of artists, so if you are curious to hear more (and haven’t already), you can check the album out and purchase it from here!
