Moon Ruin's New Single TARMAC From Forthcoming LP Premieres at PopMatters

Moon Ruin is very pleased to announce that "Tarmac", the first single from the forthcoming LP Slow Down Ego (out April 6th) has premiered at PopMatters.

Pre-order Slow Down Ego

Moon Ruin's Slow Down Ego inhabits a world where soulful horn charts rise from the sonic mist only to fall away as a twinkling piano runs joust playfully with syncopated electronic percussion. Palpably atmospheric and profoundly transporting, Slow Down Ego is the sound of persistence and sacrifice, born in that flash of a creative gap flitting between real-life obligation.

For the years in which Slow Down Ego was made, Jared Bartman held down the night shift as a US postal worker; sleeping for a few hours after work, and spending the remaining waking hours with his family and working on music.

Performed and recorded with Mike Noyce (Bon Iver, Tallest Man On Earth) and Liam O'Brien (Holy Sheboygan) and mixed at Justin Vernon's April Base recording studio in Eau Claire, WI, Slow Down Ego inhabits a world where gauzy vocal washes glide across sinewy melody.
