I could’ve sent the tune into a more cosmic-psych place but I was relieved to have something so stripped back sound so dead on. After 6 tracks it just sounded done to me. It was very off the cuff and fast so when I began recording it I bounced all the tracks down as I usually do in order to layer the song up. WM: “Pale Moon” was the first song I wrote and recorded when I intended to make this record. TBB: Earth Has Doors is languid and atmospheric, whereas your new song “Pale Moon” has a more jangly Go-Betweens feel to it. Wymond Miles is playing tonight, 5/9/12, at the Rickshaw Stop. You can listen to the track “Pale Moon” below, and keep reading for an interview with the guitarist and new father who was kind enough to answer a few questions via email despite traveling, playing shows with the Fresh & Onlys, and, of course, the demands that a new family can bring. While he plays most everything on the album, James Kim from Magik Trick did the drumming and Greer McGettrick from The Mallard and also Shayde Sartin and Tim Cohen from the Fresh & Onlys pop up on percussion and bass. Sacred Bones’ description of Earth Has Doors reads like the dust cover of a humanities course book - “These songs concisely yet esoterically document the existential crisis of our current epoch…” - and is expansive with billowy swells, while Under the Pale Moon is said to be more straightforward pop music, a consequence, according to Wymond, of listening to jangly pop music for Fresh & Onlys inspiration.

Under the Pale Moon is a stripped-down follow-up to last year’s Earth Has Doors EP (stream it via Bandcamp) - both home recordings on the big brown behemoth known as the Tascam 388, state of the art in the mid ’80s and now a cult-ish hunk of furniture used by a lot of SF bands, including Kelly Stoltz and Thee Oh Sees (and up until Play It Strange, the Fresh & Onlys as well). Wymond Miles - chiefly known as the man responsible for the bold and catchy surf leads that hold the beautifully wonk-ish cacophony of the Fresh & Onlys together - has a new solo LP slated to hit shelves on June 12 via Sacred Bones.
