‘Please Rewind’ is the debut album on Tru Thoughts from new signing Moonchild, following the release of lead single “The Truth” (out 9th October) they will be supporting The Internet (Odd Future’s Syd tha Kyd & Matt Martians) on their US/Canada fall tour. This LA based trio - whose early offerings have already gained approval from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott, India.Arie, Leela James, Robert Glasper, Laura Mvula, James Poyser, Jazzy Jeff, Jose James, Tyler, The Creator, The Internet, Gilles Peterson (BBC 6 Music), WHUR-DC, KCRW and LA 102.3 - are excited to take their place on the roster and represent the label’s growing Californian contingent alongside fellow West Coast rising stars Lost Midas and The Seshen.
The name ‘Moonchild’ came about before the project had even started. “The three of us bonded one evening while star-gazing, so when it came to think of a name for the band, we knew that it was right.” Fast-forward three years of jamming together on the University of Southern California’s Jazz programme, and Moonchild have played some of the biggest Jazz festivals in America (Montreal, Capital, Art of Cool, Arizona, San Diego etc.), and gigged with prolific names from Stevie Wonder to Jill Scott to India.Arie.
Members Amber Navran (vocals, tenor, saxophone), Max Bryk (alto saxophone, flute, clarinet, keyboards) and Andris Mattson (trumpet/flugelhorn, keyboards) explore new soul / jazz / electronic ground, and with a penchant for exquisite arrangement, they create textured and catchy riffs which will excite everyone from post-bop jazz lovers to contemporary neo-soul crowds.

Such an excellent album put together here! What's amazing to me is that they either maintain the level of excellence, or get even better with each release. That said--coming back to this album shows they have been strong writers all along. Every track on here is high caliber, no skipping songs - drop the needle and let the music play!

Saw Moonchild at Indy Jazz Fest on my birthday. It was their first performance since the pandemic. To say that Moonchild delivered was an understatement. I love love their music and musicianship! I was so happy and felt a kinship to the other fans straight GROOVING to Moonchild. Go see this excellent band. Apologies to my family for playing Moonchild daily on high volume ❤️

[@mr.mr.2222]

[@tomanastasio9748]

Saw them live in Seattle at the Crocodile in 2022. Amber’s mom was in the audience and it was magic! This music is not studio trickery. They are better live. The mix was perfect. Synth bass shaking your chest yet Amber’s every word was audible. Must hear them again.

[@daleduberry1635]

When music touches your soul and affects your mood it's therapy. Moonchild is a beautiful collaboration of talent and joy. I am a huge fan of the group and I like the mood they put me in when I time in. I am writing again and the few pieces that have been penned since finding this music has been wonderful and descriptive. Can't wait to share it.
