Walk the Moon Album

WALK THE MOON
 
 

While What Is This? was working on their album, Alain Johannes met Natasha Shneider, and they immediately clicked musically.  She joined What Is This? shortly thereafter.  They then formed a duo called Walk the Moon – not the same band as the Cincinnati-based band Walk the Moon that formed in 2008 – and had other musical sounds besides rock on their album, Walk the Moon (1987).  Jack Irons and Chris Hutchinson evidently played on several of the tracks, but on many, they used drum machines. 

 

In an interview posted on ultimate-guitar.comAlain Johannes discussed the album:  "We [Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneiderbecame Walk the Moon and started to explore more of the songwriting stuff and different textures that are not usually rock band-based like synths and all that other stuff and I started playing my odd instruments.  Well, some of them not odd but the pipa [Chinese lute] or sing like a Sufi-inspired Kowali singing and Natasha would do little choirs."
