Shannon & The Clams – “The Moon Is In The Wrong Place”

Shannon & The Clams – “The Moon Is In The Wrong Place”

In 2021, the eclectic group Shannon And The Clams shared the album Year Of The Spider. Today, they’re announcing its follow-up, The Moon Is In The Wrong Place, produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. The title track is out now with a music video directed by Bobbi Rich.

In August of 2022, bandleader Shannon Shaw was weeks away from her wedding when her fiancé, Joe Haener, died in a tragic car accident. “We all felt the urgency of making something that reckoned with this meteor that smashed into our planet,” keyboard player Will Sprott said in a statement. “This is the most focused record we’ve ever done, as far as everything coming from a singular traumatic event.”
