After building up anticipation with a series of singles, today Moon Taxi have announced the details surrounding their sixth full-length album. The album will be titled Silver Dream, and will be released on January 22nd, 2021. Pre-orders for Silver Dream can be found here.
To celebrate the album announcement, the Nashville-based alt-rock group have shared another song from Silver Dream titled “One Step Away.” The track contains dusty guitar rings over a steady beat, with a chantable chorus to top it all off — and has already been adopted by ESPN’s SEC Network as it’s anthem for this college football season’s televised games, playing on various promos, spots, broadcasts, and more.
On “One Step Away,” Moon Taxi guitarist Spencer Thomson explains, “I think this song represents a side of the album that is more rooted in soul and rock. We wanted to share something that complements what we’ve already put out to give the audience some sense of the variety of what’s on the album. In this day and age, it’s tricky to get a big group of people together to shoot a video, so we came up with a concept everyone could film on their own with their phones. It also allowed each member to get creative with how he filmed his shot. I wanted it to have a dark and grimy, yet playful vibe that matched the song.”
“We hope we’re giving people something to look forward to. We’re really excited and proud of the album and can’t wait to share the experience of it,” he adds on Silver Dream.
