Allie Crow Buckley

About the band

Allie Crow Buckley’s music equates to staring at the moon through an open window, not in wonder but with understanding. Her songs carry within them both a grounding earth-bound quality and an expansive sonic universe. Having grown up so close to where the ocean meets the land, it’s not surprising that her music is imbued with such a strong sense of power and natural balance. Moonlit and Devious is the remarkably assured debut full-length album from Buckley, a collection of songs composed of heavy, distorted guitar tones, layers of dreamy synths, soaring vocal melodies, and deep low end. It finds the singer-songwriter grappling with the nonlinear nature of coming to terms with a partnership that is coming to an end, and setting out to reclaim a sense of identity, often feeling like a stranger in a strange land.

Allie co-produced Moonlit and Devious with longtime collaborators Jason Boesel (Rilo Kiley, Conor Oberst) and Mike Viola (Jenny Lewis, JS Ondara). It was recorded in Los Angeles with contributions from guitarist Dylan Day (Nick Hakim, Ethan Gruska), and keyboard player Lee Pardini (Dawes, Cass McCombs).
