Moon Diagrams -- the solo project of Deerhunter co-founder and drummer Moses Archuleta -- returns with a second album, Cemetery Classics. The 12-track album is a co-release between Sonic Cathedral (in the UK and Europe) and Angus Andrew from Liars' new label No Gold (in the US and the ROW) and was mixed by James Ford. It features guests including Anastasia Coope, Patrick Flegel (Cindy Lee) and Josh Diamond (Gang Gang Dance). It's Moses' first new music since 2019's Trappy Bats mini-album and the follow-up to 2017's acclaimed debut Lifetime of Love and everything seems a bit more extreme -- from the Basinski-esque degradation of "Neptune" to the Faustian industrial noise of "Listen To Me" via Art of Noise-style postmodern pop (the first single "Very Much My Promise to You"), Daft Punk bangers ("Fifteen Shows at One Time"), trip-hop, shoegaze, Jan Hammer, Depeche Mode, late Leonard Cohen and more.
