Description
Epic Records announces André 3000’s “companion piece” to the three-time Grammy nominated New Blue Sun. This mostly instrumental release is the soundtrack to a short film entitled Moving Day. Housed in a fold-out poster sleeve jacket and polybagged, this collector’s vinyl piece will be released on heavyweight 180g black vinyl.
Moving Day captures André 3000 in a very important time. Before New Blue Sun was recorded, filmmaker Dexter Navy films André in Venice Beach, California. The day happened to be when André was moving out of his home and into a new place. The score for Moving Day is a weaving of field recordings from the date of filming, an impromptu Q&A by Navy to André, and post studio recording performed forward then backward while watching the film. The additional track ‘Tunnels of Egypt’ is an unreleased New Blue Sun sessions recording.
André Benjamin - best known as André 3000 - is one of the most celebrated artists of the last three decades, an auteur whose work in music, film, fine arts, and fashion, continues to influence the cultural landscape on a global scale. As one half of Outkast, André established a brand new voice within rap that had never been experienced before when the pair emerged in the early ’90s.
