Alternative rockers The Moss reunite for the sparkling single "Oasis," a song that's somehow able to capture connection and ephemerality in one single breath. The single appears on their new "FREE RIDE" EP, and embodies the airy yet substantive vibes that have always resonated so well for the band born on Oahu's shores. The band's frontman, Tyke James, explained that "Oasis" is about finding someone who makes you feel seen, a short-lived but necessary human connection.
That feeling of both urgency and impermanence pulsates through the track, which envelops you in an indie-rock soundscape that's sunny on its surface but deep with unspoken meaning. The Moss band members, Tyke James, Willie Fowler, and the newcomer Tyler Harris, have expanded into a band that toggles between gleaming melodies and earnest songwriting. Informed by the sounds of Pinegrove and Kevin Morby, their sound indulges in organic textures, providing a genuine quality that many listeners yearn for amidst an age of overproduced entities.
"Oasis" not only sets the tone for the EP, but it also comes with some news. The Moss will hit the road in spring 2026 for a six-week headline tour, kicking off on April 2 in Seattle. In the end, "Oasis" does an excellent job of tapping into that great human wish to be known for who we are, if only for a moment. The Moss delivers it in a manner that feels timeless and grounded, full of heart, another reminder of why their music continues to stay with us so closely.
