New York post-rock powerhouse Moving Mountains has surprised announced their 4th LP and first new music in over 10 years titled "Pruning of The Lower Limbs" set for release on June 27, 2025 via Wax Bodega. The album will contain 10 brand new tracks including the lead off single "Ghost" a hauntingly beautiful new track that sounds like the perfect continuation of where the self titled album left off.

Moving Mountains have had a lot of time for self-reflection. It’s been more than a decade since the Westchester, New York-formed quartet last released an album, 2013’s self-titled LP that only further cemented them as a quietly essential cornerstone in the modern emo, post-rock, and atmospheric genres. Now, after years of silence, the band has emerged from hibernation with renewed clarity: more deliberate, more dynamic, more determined to savor every moment.

Pruning Of The Lower Limbs, their first album for Wax Bodega, stands as an effortlessly beautiful reawakening for vocalist/guitarist Gregory Dunn, drummer Nicholas Pizzolato, bassist Mitchell Lee and guitarist/pianist Joshua Kirby, reigniting the most inescapable parts of their musical souls in ways that are equally urgent and introspective. There’s magic in each subtle, slow-burning crescendo, the sound of a band reenergized to be back together.

It all combines to give this new era of Moving Mountains an overwhelming sense of purpose. Consider how they left – not with a great farewell, but a tour schedule that eventually faded to silence in 2017 – and their reunion feels pure and without pretense, not so much preoccupied with the grandiosity of endings or beginnings, the notion that things, like bands or stations in life, are finite, but instead, that they simply can exist as they are, as they were and as they’ll always continue to be. For the four of them, that’s simply enough at this point as they move forward together.
