The Moss have made a robust comeback with their latest single, “Darkness” This song marks a fresh chapter for the alt/indie rock band, showcasing their signature mix of deep emotions and honest storytelling.
“Darkness” is the first glimpse of their upcoming EP and offers a slightly more serious and reflective vibe compared to their usual sunny sound. The lead singer, Tyke James, describes it as a song about the struggle of caring deeply for someone while also needing some space to manage your feelings. This emotional push and pull is felt throughout the track, creating a sense of tension and warmth. The Moss members are Tyke James, vocals/guitar, Addison Sharp, guitar, Willie Fowler, drums, and Caiden Jackson, bass. Started their journey on the beaches of Oahu and later found their music home in Utah. This blend of beach and mountain influences gives “Darkness” its unique feel. The guitars have a warm, soothing vibe, but there’s also a sense of restlessness and longing that flows through the song. Fans of artists like Pinegrove and Kevin Morby will likely appreciate the sound of “Darkness,” but The Moss truly have their style. They don’t follow trends, instead, their music feels genuine and lived-in, capturing the essence of real-life experiences. The production is honest and almost like a private late-night conversation filled with real emotions.
If “Darkness” represents the heart of their upcoming EP, then it promises to be an emotional and thoughtful journey. The Moss isn’t afraid to explore feelings of grief alongside happiness, creating a song that resonates like a chat you didn’t know you needed.
