The Moss, the alt/indie rock band known for their radiant, organic sound, have dropped their new single, Darkness, after more than a year without releasing new music. Coming through S-Curve Records, this track offers a fresh taste of what’s to come on their highly anticipated upcoming EP. Originating from Oahu and now based near the Great Salt Lake, The Moss blend catchy indie rock melodies with honest, introspective lyrics that dive deep into real emotional territory, all while keeping that effortless, natural vibe that’s become their signature.
Darkness delves into the complicated feeling of loving someone deeply but needing space to sort out your own emotions, a cyclical struggle that Tyke James, the band’s lead vocalist and songwriter, captures with a raw, personal touch. The song strikes a delicate balance between bright, infectious melodies and a warm, organic indie feel, wrapped in thoughtful and reflective lyrics. Fans of artists like Pinegrove and Kevin Morby will recognise some familiar influences, but The Moss manage to keep their sound fresh and compelling, carving out a unique space within the indie scene.
With over 75 million streams under their belt, The Moss have been on the move this year, performing more than fifty shows across the US and gearing up for a tour with Mt. Joy this August. Darkness gives a clear glimpse of what’s coming on their next album: more honest, heartfelt indie rock with that signature organic vibe that fans love. Keep an eye on them!
