Earlier in 2017, Moon Duo released Occult Architecture Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 – a psychedelic opus in two separate volumes – an intricately woven hymn to the invisible structures found in the cycle of seasons and the journey of day into night, dark into light. Offering a cosmic glimpse into the hidden patterning embedded in everything, Occult Architecture reflects the harmonious duality of these light and dark energies through the Chinese theory of Yin and Yang. The Yin (darkness, night, earth) is represented on Vol. 1, where Vol. 2 presents the Yang. Yang means “the bright side of the hill” and is associated with the sun, light and the spirit of heaven.

“As devil worshipping goes this is pretty funky stuff” – 8/10, Uncut
“It’s hard not to admire their focus” – The Guardian
