Western Mystery Tradition is the third studio album from Detroit, MI via Brooklyn, NY outfit Moonwalks. A departure from the bands DIY psych-rock roots to a more mature and polished sound, the album was produced by Mattiels Jonah Swilley and recorded in May 2019 at Detroits acclaimed (and rumored haunted) Masonic Temple with Bill Skibbe (Jack White, The Kills) in a lodge belonging to the Free Masons Detroit chapter.
Western Mystery Tradition was conceived in the winter of 2019 amidst a polar vortex in Detroit, Michigan, Moonwalks recall of the records origins: At the time and in between touring, we lived together in a house on the west side that lacked a working stove and had no power in half of the building. The band - trapped indoors due to temperatures in the negatives and massive amounts of snow - drew inspiration from our isolated state amidst a bleak Michigan winter.
Moonwalks consists of Kerrigan Pearce (drums), Jacob Dean (guitar), and Kate Gutwald (bass). Originating in Detroit's DIY scene, the trio started out playing in warehouses and makeshift venues across the city. Since then, theyve gone on to tour extensively throughout North America and Europe supporting acts like The Murlocs, Metric, Julian Casablancas & The Voidz, Thee Oh Sees, The Liminanas, and The Mystery Lights to name a few.
