While Sam Moss’ ‘Shapes’ sounds like a gentle, mellow record at first, it unfolds into an emotional avalanche, cleverly packaged into rhymes that roll off the tongue, an elaborately fingerpicked guitar, and vulnerable voice.
Neon may be an album of night, of place, of colour and light. But it is also an album of contrasts, contrasts that are subtle, contrasts that are hidden in the words and contrasts that look into the emotional light and dark.
Our Song of the Day comes from Sam Moss, a musician who lives in Boston. Neon is his latest single and the title track of his forthcoming album set for release in March 2018. He’s certainly a name you want to keep on your radar.
