Picture Credit: MOOP Artwork: Marie-Laure Morin MOOP - Ostara Release Date: February 26, 2021 Label: Tonzonen Format: Vinyl / Cassette / CD / Digital Length: 34:13 Genre: Brutal Jazz / Zeuhl Origin: Poitiers , France Around 20 months have passed since Poitiers' MOOP released their selftitled album .
