Salt Lake City-based band The Moss release their new single, “Alive.” The new release from the band is their first of a busy touring year that includes over 50 US headline tour dates plus shows with Flipturn and Red Clay Strays.
“I wrote ‘Alive’ at a time in my life where the beliefs that I had for so long started to seem very fickle and incomplete. ‘Alive’ is the ambassador of a new way of thinking for me that involves trusting and taking care of myself, and letting go once in a while.”
The Moss broke through last year with the four-song Insomnia EP, leading the way with more than 25 million streams, the title track—which Tyke describes as “a bittersweet song about codependency, the point in a relationship where you feel incomplete without the other person”—landed on Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 chart with major support from Sirius XM’s Alt Nation. Other highlights of the past year include well-received sets at Las Vegas’ Life Is Beautiful, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits festival.
Originating on the shores of Oahu as teenage buddies, Tyke James (vocals/guitar) and Addison Sharp (guitar) traded in beaches for the Great Salt Lake joining forces with Willie Fowler (drums) Caiden Jackson (bass) to form The Moss. As the group’s principal songwriter, Tyke channels his own personal experiences and passions into The Moss’ radiant and deceptively sunny tunes—their unique version of organic indie rock draws from artists like Pinegrove and Kevin Morby for sonic inspiration.
