about

Live from Blackalachia is a live album and film comprised of dynamic band arrangements from Moses Sumney's first 2 albums. It was recorded in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the summer of 2020, on a stage built on a hill nestled within a 72-acre ranch.

Moses directed the conceptual concert film, available now in both audio and visual formats.

From Moses:

"In early 2020, my band gathered in my home in Western North Carolina, living and breathing together, re-arranging songs from my first 2 albums into a live odyssey. As the year unfurled and international tour was wiped off the schedule, I realized there should be some kind of record, a
copper snapshot of those musical arrangements and the turmoil and beauty of that year. So we took to the Appalachian mountains and recorded 'Live From Blackalachia.'

The band congregated in the heat of a lulled summer, with a mere 10 days to learn and re-learn the music. Drums, keys, guitars, double bass, violin, saxophones, trombone. Bees, birds, squirrels, crickets,
frogs. Over the course of two days, we filmed 14 songs, totally live, the trees as our audience, the grasshoppers our background singers.

'Live from Blackalachia' is a wild imagining of what can happen when we seek not just to reclaim nature, but to re-integrate with it."
