Tuxedomoon were futuristic and lyrical they used drum machines saxophones wailing violins and haunted vocals. Their unique and eclectic blend of rock electronic classical world & jazz elements has never been as relevant as it is today. Cabin In The Sky is the first recording by the legendary band's recently reunited original line-up featuring Steven Brown Peter Principle & Blaine Reininger as well as Luc van Lieshout and visual artist Bruce Geduldig. It finds Tuxedomoon in absolute top form as romantic rebellious and boundlessly imaginative at they ever were.Seismic Riffs was written shot and edited by Emmy award-winning director Merrill Aldighieri who had first met Tuxedomoon on-stage at a NYC niteclub called Hurrah.
