I Am the Moon is the fifth studio album by American blues rock group Tedeschi Trucks Band. It is a quadruple album which was initially released in four separate parts over consecutive full moons in 2022: Crescent (released on June 3), Ascension (released on July 1), The Fall (released on July 29) and Farewell (released on August 26), with each album including a corresponding short film.[1] The completed album was released via Fantasy Records on September 9, 2022 and is the band's first since 2019's Signs.
