Currently you can find Moonist in the Studio producing her new Album Spirit Shake. The Album was recorded at Soulvision Studios Cologne by Jan Niemeyer and will be released and performed live in 2024. To paint a sonic picture: imagine Prince and Roisin Murphy breaking through the stratosphere in a Turquoise Cadillac with lots of pink bananas and a veeeery shaken Fanta below zero. Rumors about the album already being leaked via WWW since the rough tapes got stolen on a Northern European airport last summer, have not been confirmed by the MNGMT!
