The Moss with Gatlin

Информация: In a musical landscape with fewer boundaries than ever before, THE MOSSs exuberant brand of alternative rock spans genres, eras, and even oceans.The Utah-via-Hawaii group was born on the shores of Oahu in 2015, as teenage buddies Tyke James (vocals/guitar) and Addison Sharp (guitar) picked up a gig serenading diners at local taco trucks in between surf sessions. Naturally, their songs took shape in the spirit of the island, imbued with the joyfulness and breeziness of reggae culture yet cut with the introspection and communal spirit of mainland indie acts like Pinegrove and Cage the Elephant.By 2018, the duo had grown, enlisting Willie Fowler on drums and Addisons brother Brierton on bass, and traded in beaches for the Great Salt Lake. They hit the stage at spots like local cornerstone Kilby Court, live-testing their modern-indie-meets-60s-blues with a wide-eyed exuberance that translated effortlessly into their 2019 self-released debut, Bryology. Colored by the sound of Stratocasters jamming through reverb-cranked Fender amps, all backed by bouncy rhythms, Bryology marked a big step for the still-young quartet but, true to The Mosss nature, was still hard-coded with a DIY ethos. We basically had no budget, James remembers fondly. We bought some nice mics and an interface and I ended up learning how to mix while we were recording.The follow-up, 2021s Kentucky Derby, brought a more aspirational, blue-sky tilt to the foundation theyd laid on Bryology, expanding the groups sonic arsenal while keeping the relatable lyrical style and sun-soaked sentiment at the forefront. Im really proud of how weve evolved as a band over time, Addison Sharp says. It feels like weve taken every different influence and mashed them all together to create something that feels really special.Bryology seemed like a collection of separate songs we put together to make an album, whereas Kentucky Derby is a similar thought and story coming together to collectively make a more cohesive album, adds Brierton Sharp says, noting the albums tracks are sneakily arranged in pairs of two that seamlessly flow into one another. Each song could be listened to on its own, or you could listen to them all and get a broader sense of our intention.No matter how listeners choose to interact with The Mosss music, the band just hopes they feel something. Its that kinetic relationship between band and audience that makes their live performances including a pitch-perfect recent set for Audiotree so compelling. No matter what we do, we want to make sure the songs are fun to play live, says Fowler. We pride ourselves on being a band people want to see live.Theres something special that happens when you get an immediate reaction to a song, says James. Whether its during a live show or even just a songwriting session, if theres a reaction from people in the room, you know youre on the right track.
