Milky Chance’s rise was sudden. Their debut single “Stolen Dance” was a global smash that was certified double platinum and racked up billions of streams. Soon, childhood friends Phillipp Dausch and Clemens Rehbein — who befriended each other in a school choir class — were bringing their blend of folk, electronic, hip-hop, world music, and chillout across continents and onto Fallon, Kimmel, and Conan.
Mind The Moon combines a long-nurtured songwriting acumen with almost childlike excitement about the possibilities of music. They even collaborate with longtime favorites Ladysmith Black Mambazo — whose music they performed in that youth choir class — on the indelible pop-gospel fusion “Eden’s House.”
