Rendezvous was recorded at Trout Recording in Brooklyn with Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Phish) producing. The album was recorded live in one big room, with minimal overdubs apart from vocals and guitar solos, and it captures the sound of the band playing live. For the first time ever, guitarist Sean Eden sang a couple of songs that he had written: 'Broken Chair' and 'Still at Home.' Other highlights include 'Malibu Love Nest' and 'Cindy Tastes of Barbecue.' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album was released in October, 2004 on Jetset Records, and the band announced that they would be breaking up after one final tour. As things turned out, this break-up amounted to a 10-year hiatus, as Luna are now back playing shows. But Rendezvous is their final studio album of original material. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLuna's allegedly last studio album is astonishing, their best since 1995's Penthouse. The band has arrived at a pleasant, Television-on-xanax variant of indie-rock that's so smart, sexy, and sophisticated, it threatens to melt right into the background. As befits a group thinking of (their own) empire, Luna revisits one of their best songs, 'Astronaut.' Like the rest of the album, here it's leaner, stronger, and slower, while 'Malibu' and 'Owl' display some of the finest, melodic and stripped-down guitar playing since the Feelies' heyday. Much of what helps raise Luna from pretty sonic wallpaper are Wareham's lyrics. Delivered in a stylish deadpan, Wareham's words seem to owe much to New York School poets like John Ashbery, Joe Brainard, and, of course Lou Reed. --Mike McGonigal\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eMalibu Love Nest\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCindy Tastes of Barbecue\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSpeedbumps\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Owl \u0026amp; the Pussycat\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAstronaut\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eRainbow Babe\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBroken Chair\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eStar-Spangled Man\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMotel Bambi\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eStill at Home\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBuffalo Boots\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e RECORDSHOP\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pop\/Rock\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45:22 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 08\/07\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 659696575813\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"RECORDSHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48613879447801,"sku":"WMP2026-LP-7","price":31.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/WMP2026-LP-7.jpg?v=1782852690","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/luna-rendezvous-lp","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
