Highspeeds

Description

ELLIOT MOSS successfully passes his initiation with Highspeeds, a critically acclaimed debut album! A young prodigy at 21, the American is both a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. His debut album, the result of three years of work, has already received a decidedly favorable reception in the United States where it was released last May through Grand Jury. Inspired by great names such as David Byrne and Damon Albarn, ELLIOT MOSS has been able to refine the live version of this opus as the opening act for Cold War Kids in the United States and Canada. Highspeeds is a debut album that attests to the maturity of its author and whose emotional charge takes your breath away. We discover ELLIOT MOSS effortlessly navigating between jazz, electro, and ambient music, thus creating wonderful soundscapes. The twelve tracks of Highspeeds layer themes of hope and loss over powerful and repetitive rhythms while MOSS's celestial voice firmly carries it all, as evidenced by the talented first single "Slip," a melodic lament where jazz is sensually revealed as soul. This debut album, which will be released on Play It Again Sam on October 16, launches ELLIOT MOSS at full speed into an artistic career that is shaping up to be paved with success.
