Moss and I'm not talking about the one named Randy

After one sloppy Monday Night Football game, I came home and hit play on my iTunes and I bounced right to Moss. I had forgotten all about their album Ornaments.  Moss reminds me of Fleet Foxes in the vocal melodies but with a good mix of synth to make the songs feel a little more pop.  They're too good to be with so few views on YouTube and this little of hype.  I'm always surprised when bands don't get heard. Maybe it's because they're not from the US or the UK. 

"Almost A Year" is one hell of a song.  I personally love lyrics and it's great when that combines with the right melody to create a memorable song.  I was hooked by the twelves seconds mark.  Really, that's all it took. I'm just surprised there's no official video for this song.  What gives fellas?


"The Hunter" is one of the singles released from Ornaments so far.  It's the great middle to me showcasing both sides of their sound.  These guys can write songs, that's all there is to it.


"What You Want" was their first single off the album. I don't think there's a bad song on Ornaments.    It's here that they sound most like Fleet Foxes to me.
