Moondusty’ is a new band led by "Cess" aka Daniel Orcese, a London-based singer-songwriter blessed with decades-long experience of making magical music. He’s toured with Pete Doherty, made an album with critically acclaimed Jazz pianist Greg Foat and has contributed backing vocals for a Paul Weller track.
The eponymous Moondusty#1 is Danel’s first release after an eight-year hiatus, packed with a rejuvenated sense of purpose. This first song hints at his past work while offering a fresh take on his favourite influences: Pink label early Island Records, Ronnie Lane and The Band to name but a few. .
If you are wondering from where the name ‘Moondusty’ originates, Dan offers a beautiful – if teasingly enigmatic – explanation:
“It’s about waking up from a dream somewhere long ago and coming to – in a place that had become a bit ‘settled’,” he says, a wolfish grin curling on his lips. “It’s a reawakening, if you like. When I played the song Moondusty#1 to close the set, with my old friends I hadn’t expected to be the beneficiary of so much positivity.‘Moondusty’ seemed to fit the bill just perfectly.”
