Andrew & Polly encapsulate the positive, creative spirit, the commitment, and the audacious courage that fueled the race to the moon in Go for the Moon, an outrageously inventive soundtrack for adventure that features anthemic horn sections, soaring choirs, bumping beats, a remixed JFK speech, sounds from the Pacific Ocean, and even a musical saw. This manifesto of joyful, thoughtful living sparkles with enthusiastic contributions from GRAMMY winner Lucy Kalantari, Mista Cookie Jar, and Mike Phirman.
Go for the Moon presents an empowering array of clever originals, along with creative covers of music by Smash Mouth and the great Roger Miller, and some treasured lyrics by Mister Rogers. Go for the Moon is ambitious, inspiring, more than slightly absurd, and totally awesome – not unlike the real-life adventures of childhood and parenthood.
Highlights include Andrew & Polly’s super-hip, whip-smart take on Smash Mouth’s 1999 hit, “All Star.” “Mom’s Name,” co-written by guest singer and instrumentalist, Mike Phirman, is a mini rock opera that spins on the well-known fact that when you’re a mom, basically no one knows your name. “Chair School” is a track Andrew & Polly describe as “what Bruno Mars might write if his kid kept falling out of chairs.” Featuring Mista Cookie Jar, “Chair School” is loaded with something for everyone: full brass section, sizzling jazz background vocals, baritone sax and dueling moog synthesizers, with classical cello and timpani to underscore the sound track of the Chair School graduation ceremony.
