Moon Taxi unveils their most recent video for single "Morocco" today on EW.com. PRESS HERE<http://music-mix.ew.com/2014/04/23/moon-taxi-morocco-video/> to watch. Directed by music and fashion photographer Matthew Wignall (Cold War Kids, Delta Spirit, Black Keys - VOLCOM, O'NEILL), the stunning video was shot at dusk in the desert, capturing the band taking a train to Morocco during the Roaring Twenties era. Moon Taxi's guitarist and producer Spencer Thomson expressed, "I wrote the verses very quickly on one rainy Sunday in Nashville.  I never intended to write a song about Morocco, it just kind of happened." "Morocco" is from the five-piece's acclaimed album Mountains Beaches Cities, which has earned praise from NPR, Esquire.com, InterviewMagazine.com, Relix, American Songwriter, and many more.

Captivating a much wider audience these days  - as PasteMagazine.com states, "Moon Taxi has had another landmark year, appearing on bigger and bigger stages ..." - the band has garnered recent debut performances on the Late Show with David Letterman, CONAN, WNYC Soundcheck and USA Today's Studio A. Their last single "The New Black" appeared in a few TV spots, including BMW's national TV ad campaign, which launched during the Sochi 2014  Olympics - PRESS HERE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjmbJmbIMtY> to watch the commercial.

Moon Taxi have been extensively touring throughout the U.S. to promote the newest LP and will be making stops at Hangout Festival, Electric Forest, Wakarusa Festival and more this summer. All tour dates listed below.

Praise for Moon Taxi and Mountains Beaches Cities:
"A new artist on the rise" - NPR

"Mountains Beaches Cities is the band's third album of infectious, melodically rich indie rock and pop songs, and it's their best yet." - XPN The Key

"...shape-shifting, sleekly catchy, brilliantly prismatic Mountains Beaches Cities, they have every right to be pleased with themselves. It's the handiwork of musicians who haven't dumbed things down as much as harnessed their musical intelligence and exploratory spirits into New Wave-informed pop smarts."  - Relix

"Our new favorite band" - MTV

"Nashville rockers unleash similar guitar funk, with Kings of Leon-ish Southern strut." - Entertainment Weekly

"Moon Taxi has been one of Nashville's best kept secrets since its formation in 2006...the band combined its jam-band ethos with the newfound radio friendly pop." - American Songwriter

"They're exploring, or rather, evolving: becoming a little less jammy, a little more pop, but more ambitious and still founded in their Southern roots." - Esquire
