"Nods to the greats of the Americana and folk worlds, but it spins a yarn all its own, proving that this Collective just may become the new torchbearers for an old, American genre."
- Elmore Magazine
Moonsville Collective has become the string band the members always wanted it to be. Five years after their last release and following a lineup change, the Southern California–bred folk band feels a renewed connection to its roots in old-time music circles, bolstered by the sharpened musical and songwriting skills that come with more experience.
“We had to recalibrate,” says Corey Adams, the band’s co-founder, songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist. Ahead of recording their new album, A Hundred Highways, Moonsville Collective, he says, “went back to writing songs on the acoustic guitar and banjo, and not visualizing such big arrangements,” like those on the series of EPs it released in 2018. “That’s kind of how we started: banjo music and mandolins and fiddles and really classic Americana, country, jug band, blues songs,” Adams continues. “We re-found ourselves by just sitting in a circle and playing music again in a way that felt really organic and natural to us.”
Moonsville Collective recorded A Hundred Highways, its fourth full-length album and first since 2015, live at Jazz Cats Studio in Long Beach, California, and produced the record as a band.
“When you come see us live, we’re playing on our one little microphone. We didn’t want to hide behind anything. You can go down the road of hustling to make a record sound bigger than you are for the sake of success, but we’re at the phase of our lives where that’s not the most important thing that we value. We wanted this one to be really authentic and true, to reflect who we really are, what we really do.”
