Austin-based band Moonlight
Towers has released “Distant Wheels,”
the latest single and video from its Day Is The New Night album via
Austin’s NPR-affiliate KUT.
Check out the clip and download the track here: http://kut.org/2012/12/moonlight-towers-distant-wheels-2.
The video for “Distant
Wheels” was directed by Huay-Bing
Law. “He and cinematographer Taylor
Washington contacted me out of the blue with a really cool concept for the
video,” explains Moonlight Towers
band leader, James Stevens. “They
had a carnival set up in a field near Lockhart, Texas. We had a small window to shoot – right at
dusk. We did thirty takes, with some after
sundown for that day/night effect, and with the song played back at double
speed, which gives the video a woozy look when played back. Things were tense,
but it was exciting being on the sun's schedule.”
“Distant Wheels” is just the latest track from Day Is The New Night to
be released as a single. The album has
been going strong since it was released in April of 2011 when its initial
single “Heat Lightning” was embraced
by none other than E Street
guitarist and “Sopranos” star, Little Steven Van Zandt.
Van Zandt named the track as his weekly “Coolest Song In The World” on his long-running SiriusXM radio show and channel, “Little Steven’s Underground Garage,” and
went on to give the tune (and others from Day Is The New Night) lots of
airplay over the following months, syndicated to stations around the world and
heard by 1.2 million listeners a week.
“Heat Lightning” went
on to be named as Van Zandt’s
#12 “Coolest Song of The Year” and
fans of the show and channel voted the song as their #9 “Coolest Song In The World” for the year.
Proclaimed “amazing” by Performing Songwriter for creating what the Chicago Reader calls “perfectly molded power-pop,” the members of Moonlight Towers are “Austin’s favorite
three-minute heroes” according to the Austin
American-Statesman.
Members of Moonlight
Towers are available for interviews.
