The Magpie Salute have released "Sister Moon," the fifth track from their upcoming debut studio album, High Water I.  The band, featuring ex-Black Crowes members Rich Robinson, Marc Ford, and Sven Pipien, will release the LP one week from today.  

"Sister Moon" is rooted by John Hogg's choppy piano riff and Pipien's sparse, yet effective bass lines.  The two establish a firm groove that locks in with Joe Magistro's straightforward percussion.  Hogg's vocals soar over the arrangement, as his voice seems to float softly with each passing lyric.  Beautiful slide guitar from Robinson demonstrates the band's country style, each note carefully filling the empty spaces.  Overall, "Sister Moon" is an engaging track that contrasts with the band's earlier, more hard-hitting singles "Send Me An Omen" and "For The Wind." 

Marc Ford described the creation of "Sister Moon" as a result of bonding with Hogg.  The guitarist explained the experience in a statement:

"Sister Moon" came from John and I staying in a house together. We lived together 24 hours a day for ten days. We would just sit, poke at the fire, and tell stories. Many ideas came from that. That's how 'Sister Moon' started. It's so vibey and beautiful. John and I had never met before. The track is like us meeting.

Robinson detailed the process behind the songwriting in a press release, "Marc had originally written it on acoustic, but John took the chords and played them on the piano.  It’s one of my favorite songs on the record." 

High Water I is set for release on August 10, 2018.  You can stream the album on Amazon and other major streaming services.
