Ahead of their Rage Against the Machine-themed set at this year’s Hangout Festival, Moon Taxi sat down with Red Bull to talk about the inspiration for the idea. At the end of the interview, the band revealed they are beginning work on their follow up to 2013’s Mountains Beaches Cities.

Guitarist Spencer Thomson said, “We are starting work on the next album and are about to get real deep into that process, which we couldn’t be more excited about.”

As far as the Hangout set is concerned, Thomson noted that the band’s relationship with the festival brought about the idea. “We’ve had a special relationship with the Hangout Festival since it started. This will be the fourth out of five years we’ve been there in some capacity. It felt right to do something special this year.”
