Austin-band Moonlight Towers released the
video for the latest single from its 2011 album Day Is The New Night today.
The clip for “The Easy Way Out” was created by Danny andMiranda
Cameron with each band member being shot separately and then
composited in post-production. Of the clip, Danny Cameron says,
“I wanted to create an atmosphere which made the band seem as though it were
playing in the middle of space, surrounded by nothingness.” “The Easy
Way Out” is also the title track of a new Moonlight Towers EP
scheduled for release on January 31st.
The new EP captures Moonlight Towers live
at the famed Austin club Antone’s where the band performed in
late April of 2011 to celebrate the release of Day Is The New Night.
The performances on the EP give a glimpse into a live show that has been
steadily gaining word of mouth for Moonlight Towers around the
country. One of the songs featured in its live form on the EP is “Heat
Lightning,” the previous single from Day Is The New Night,
and the track that caught the attention of Little Steven Van Zandt,
famed guitarist in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band and
former co-star of The Sopranos.
Shortly after the release of “Heat Lightning,” Van
Zandt named the track as his weekly “Coolest Song In The
World” and went on to give the tune (and others from Day
Is The New Night) lots of airplay over the following months on his
long-running SiriusXM radio show, “Little Steven’s
Underground Garage,” syndicated to stations around the world and heard
by 1.2 million listeners a week. Moonlight Towers capped the
year by seeing “Heat Lightning” named as Van Zandt’s
#12 “Coolest Song of The Year” (LINK) and fans of the
show voted the song as their #9 “Coolest Song In The World” for
2011 (LINK).
Proclaimed “amazing” by Performing Songwriter for
creating what the Chicago Reader calls “perfectly molded
power-pop,” the members of Moonlight Towers are “Austin’s
favorite three-minute heroes” according to the Austin
American-Statesman. In addition to the new video and live EP, Moonlight
Towers is wrapping up production on the video for “Distant
Wheels,” another track from Day Is The New Night.
Members of Moonlight Towers are available
for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for
