Moonchild are LA-based multi-instrumentalists Amber Navran, Max Bryk, and Andris Mattson. In 2017, the
group released their third studio album ‘Voyager’ on the Brighton, UK imprint Tru Thoughts. ‘Voyager’
follows two years after their widely-praised album ‘Please Rewind’, marking a new level of maturity in the
band’s sound. Recorded in a series of sessions in a cabin at Lake Arrowhead, California, Moonchild blend
their trademark style of soul and new-school jazz whilst exploring a diverse range of lyrical content. Fronted
by the debut single “Cure”, praise for the project has poured in, with vocal support across KCRW, BBC
1XTRA, BBC 6Music and NTS; a video premiere for the cinematic “Cure” with The Fader, and an upfront
stream of the sun soaked “Show The Way” via Okayplayer. Further reviews from DJ Mag, The Evening
Standard and LA Weekly add to support for the album, as well as online praise from NPR, The Fader,
Bandcamp (who featured the album in their top 100 albums of 2017), Soulbounce, Saint Heron and Jazz FM
playlisting. Voyager currently has over 8 million streams via digital platforms and is featured on playlists
around the globe. In the short space of four years, Moonchild have released three acclaimed albums and toured worldwide in support of the music. 2017 saw two headline tours and a host of dates with Kamasi Washington in the
United States, a sold out run through the United Kingdom and Europe, and three dates at the legendary Blue
Note in Tokyo, Japan. In 2018 the band will be headlining a spring tour in the western United States,
followed by a busy calendar of summer festivals around the world.
