Moonrisers, an instrumental duo hailing from Detroit, MI, presents a dreamlike auditory experience where threads of country, blues, and folk intertwine. The duo consists of guitarist Libby DeCamp, who wields a vintage Slingerland May Bell guitar, and drummer Adam Schreiber, striking beats on a century-old calfskin drum kit. They are not just musicians but storytellers, expanding their narratives to make dream-like landscapes through sound—a unique artistry that reflects their long journeys both individually and together.

Their debut album, “Harsh & Exciting,” produced by Dan Auerbach, captures the essence of their musical evolution in a Nashville house with a rich history. The recording sessions weren’t just sessions; they were explorations of old-time sounds and earthy textures submerged in a modern context. And with each track, including the ethereal “Circle Of The Seasons,” the album unfolds like a poem, evoking cycles in nature, life, and connection.

Perhaps it was during those pandemic living room jam sessions that their chemistry crystallized. Together they crafted a sound not meant for dazzling but for inviting listeners into a shared space. Auerbach’s encouragement led them to reveal this intimate project, which encapsulates unhurried moments and intangible histories.

This duo defies simple classification, tapping into the fabric of history while navigating forward, mining the beauty in the interplay of silence and sound. As de Camp eloquently puts it, their music has both a sense of mystery and a sense of home, a timeless endeavor that encourages listeners to connect rather than just hear.
