July 16th, 2013- Nashville band Moon Taxi is thrilled to release "The New Black," - the first single off of their third full length album, Mountains Beaches Cities (out September 10th via BMG). PRESS HERE<http://youtu.be/yoG1QvnHGpI> to listen! "The New Black" reveals the band musically exploring with a new approach to their acoustic and electronic elements. Sonically the single comes across different than any other previous tunes they've released, since this time around they decided to amp up speed and turn up the volume on "The New Black"creating an overall bigger sound. The record was self-produced by Moon Taxi's own guitarist Spencer Thomson with the help of keyboardist Wes Bailey and was mixed by Vance Powell (Jack  White,The Dead Weather) and mastered by Greg Calbi (Talking Heads, Paul Simon, Fleet Foxes). PRESS HERE<http://smarturl.it/MoonTaxiiTunes> to pre-order the album on iTunes and fans will instantly receive a download of "The New Black."
