2014 Moon Hooch - This Is Cave Music [CD]

Brooklyn-based Moon Hooch make a distinct brand of instrumental jazz-, dance-, and rock-influenced music they call "cave music." Featuring saxophonists Wenzl McGowen and Mike Wilbur, as well as drummer James Muschler, Moon Hooch began in 2010 while the members were all students at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. Initially, they started out by busking in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and in the New York City subway system. Eventually, they caught the ear of Soul Coughing's Mike Doughty, who took them on tour. Since then, Moon Hooch has developed even wider acclaim touring with They Might Be Giants and opening for bands such as Galactic. In 2013, they released their debut eponymous album on Hornblow/Megaforce records.
