Trucks Band announces the most ambitious studio project of their
storied career: I Am The Moon, an epic undertaking in four albums with
four corresponding films and 24 original songs. Inspired by a mythic
Persian tale of star-crossed lovers, and emotionally driven by the
isolation and disconnection of the pandemic era, the thematic I Am The
Moon totals more than two hours of music, unfolding a robust tapestry of
genre-defying explorations that propel the treasured American ensemble
into new and thrilling creative territory.
The project I Am The Moon, started taking shape in May, 2020, two months after the band was forced off the road by lockdown. Mike Mattison sent an email to Derek, Susan, Gabe and Tyler with a suggestion for the group: read Layla and Majnun. Written by the 12th Century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi, the poem is an enduring tale of star-crossed devotion and was the title inspiration for Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. — an influential album for TTB. But Ganjavi's vast 100-page poem resonated with Mike in an altogether different way. Mike explains that, the Clapton album is one point of view, Layla as this love object: 'I want you, I can't have you.'" But after Mattison read the original work, "I realized there are many things going on from different perspectives" and proposed, in his email, "revisiting this material as a band, as writers."
