Rock n Roll Consciousness is, according to its press release, an album that explores mystical elements including “love between angels, goddess mysticism and belief in healing through rebirth”.

The album was recorded with producer Paul Epworth, who’s also worked with Adele, at Church Studios in Crouch End, and mixed at Avast! studios in Seattle by Randall Dunn (Marissa Nadler, Earth).

Last year, it was announced that Moore would be teaming up with the German band Can for a tribute concert at London’s Barbican this April.

In the summer of 2016, Moore, who currently lives in north London, released a single with former US presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, which was available to anyone who made a donation to Sanders’ campaign.

The Thurston Moore band will also tour the US, Europe and the UK this year. See their UK dates below.
