The rishis duo of Ranjan Avasthi and Sofie Lute hail from Athens/Atlanta, and Tacoma. Though the duo has been together for nearly a decade, August Moon is their long-awaited debut.

Musically speaking, August Moon is an album of gentle, lush, psychedelic songs with a hint of hazy, folk-rock.

August Moon is also an album of collaboration, as their pals also helped out with painting this sound collage. E6 alumni friends helping in it's creation include Scott Spillane (Neutral Milk Hotel), John Kiran Fernades (Olivia Tremor Control), Andrew Rieger (Elf Power), James Huggins III (Of Montreal), Andy Gonzalez (Marshmallow Coast), Peter Alvanos (Sunshine Fix and also Elf Power), Lucy Calhoun (Black Swan Network), Todd Kelly (Phosphorescent and also Great Lakes), Wild Rumpus founder Timi Conley, Max Schneider, and co-producer Chris Byron of the Wonderland Rangers.

August Moon is a poetic, intricate folk-pop record, that wins your heart with thoughtful lyricism, gentle melodies, and lush arrangements. It's the perfect record for the springtime, when life is blooming again and the heart is open to the simple charms of love and life.
