Maurice Louca's Moonshine shines brightly with a live, raw, collective sound. The Elephantine band is incredible Double drummers Tommaso Cappellato & Ozun Usta; Piero Bittolo Bon on alto, Daniel Gahrton on baritone and Isak Hedtjarn on clarinet; Rasmus Svale Kjærgård Lund on tuba; Rosa Brunell on bass; Els Vandeweyer on vibraphone; Louca on guitar/lap steel/synth. Abstract territories of freedom, always grounded, expansive, multiple, internally differentiated, and elephantine.
