Moon Goons “A Daydream Dark” 2021. Limited edition purple marble variant, self-released though another variant was released on Wax Mage Records. Heavy heavy psychedelic rock from Indianapolis. We saw Moon Goons at Romanus Records festival this past August; they put out their 2024 release Lady of Many Faces on the Romanus label. A Daydream Dark is their second LP – very spacey, a bit groovy and definitely trippy (as was their performance at Romanus Fest – the lighting was darkly intense and this was the best I could do for a photo). Their sound is also big – duo guitars, bass, drums and keyboards, with guitarist and primary songwriter Corey Standifer taking lead on vocals most of the time, except for “Finger Puppets” (one of my top tracks) when keyboardist Brooke Rice sings lead. Other top picks include the Gizzard-ish “Voodoo Medicine,” the spooky and exotically menacing “Alien Sewage” (their stage wardrobe consisted of janitorial-like jumpsuits with a weird alien-wizard logo) and another space-themed track “Cosmic Duality” which also has a touch of Sabbath-esque other-worldly evil.
