Moon safari started as a figment of our imagination in the late twentieth century. Realised in 2003, we are now casting our first progressive pie of epic proportions, “A Doorway To Summer”, into the face of the enlightened world.
Fifteen minutes of rehearsal on a dark February night was all it took to make us feel warm and summery inside. So the following month we entered the local recording facilities in Skelleftea, a small stretch of shoreline in the north of Sweden, and begun scribbling down the blueprint for what would later become A Doorway To Summer.
The four-track demo recorded that spring was sent to Mr. Tomas Bodin of The Flower Kings. Our star-struck attitude must have been the convincing factor as he happily agreed to make the long journey north to mix and master the demo in the summer of 2003. The outcome of the collaboration, resulting in great versions of “Doorway” and the booming “Lovely Rain”, pleased both parties and it was decided then and there that we would record an album, with Tomas himself playing the role of producer.
Now, circa two years later and tons of experience richer, after some gruelling months of recording and a whole lot of fun, we hope you’ll join us, in the land of a million bells and whistles, where under a pebble somewhere, you might just find “A doorway to summer” .
Awesome enough for you?
Happy the band/ Moon Safari
