California based indie band Shannon & the Clams have returned with the announcement of a brand new album entitled The Moon Is In The Wrong Place which is set to arrive on May 10 via The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach’s record label Easy Eye Sound. The record is being preceded by the release of the lead single and title track which is accompanied by a psychedelic music video.
Speaking on the inspiration behind the forthcoming album, keyboardist Will Sprott offered, “We all felt the urgency of making something that reckoned with this meteor that smashed into
our planet,” Sprott says. “This is the most focused record we’ve ever done, as far as everything
coming from a singular traumatic event.”
The band is also set to hit the road starting in March with performances at SXSW 2024. The tour will see them visit Arkansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ontario, Quebec, Massachusetts, New York, Washington DC, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Idaho and British Columbia. The trek is scheduled to end with a final show at Fox Theatre in Oakland, California on October 19.
