I Am The Moon I-IV

Tedeschi Trucks Band have announced the highly anticipated release of their 5th studio project, "I Am The Moon", the 1st of 4 albums will be available on June 3rd, 2022. The forthcoming project features 4 staggered LP release dates, each coupled with an immersive visual companion video that will drop 3 days before the album’s scheduled publication date.

Inspired by a mythic Persian tale of star crossed lovers and fueled by the emotions created by the global pandemic, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi react with thoughtful lyrics and masterful instrumentation on the forthcoming studio albums.

After the release of "I Am The Moon : Crescent" on June 3rd, Tedeschi Trucks Band will debut "I Am The Moon : Ascension" on July 1st, "I Am The Moon : The Fall" on July 29th, and finally, "I Am The Moon : Farewell", will drop on August 26th. In total, the band will release over 2 hours of new music.

The aforementioned films will combine studio and live performance footage with expert photography techniques, adding a layer of refined visual splendor that illuminates the music’s kaleidoscope like textures to the listening experience. The corresponding visual footage will come out 3 days prior to each of the albums’ scheduled release dates. Tedeschi Trucks Band will debut these films on their YouTube channel, allowing fans to digest each album in its entirety as a community.

According to Trucks, the idea behind the project came “when we started thinking of records we love”. The duo cites The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s 1967 LP, "Axis : Bold As Love" as inspiration, “It’s 36 minutes long. That’s the way to digest a record”.
