It’s been almost a full decade since bassist Clemens Rehbein first linked up with guitarist Philipp Dausch in their one-time jazz quintet Flown Townes, but in those seven years since performing as Milky Chance, the group’s creativity is far from curdling. This Kassel, Germany-based duo primarily identifies their sound as “electronic folk” though you’ll hear elements of indie, reggae, dancehall, and alternative rock imbued across their eclectic arrangements.
And in light of Dausch & Rehbein’s newfound fatherhood statuses, Milky Chance has dedicated themselves to reducing waste and elevating environmental consciousness, a mission embodied in the title of their third LP Mind the Moon. Mind the Moon‘s dozen songs find Milky Chance frothing with greatness and lathering with high-calibre collaborators. Mind the Moon is out this Friday, and you can begin to get in phase with MC’s lactose probability with one of the album’s centerpieces, featuring Tash Sultana – “Daydreaming”!
