The Daily Choice: Moss of Aura - Swilling
I posted the sort of beat-down, island-steel cruise of Future Island’s “Tin Man” a while back, and thus was turned gooey on the inside when my good friend T. Pruthers Internet brought to my attention that lead singer J. Gerrit Welmers had a solo project.
Moss of Aura does not have the raw-throated churn of Future Islands. Where Future Islands makes me shake with the unchecked chortle of energy, Moss of Aura makes me yearn for a wicker couch on a deck overlooking a quiet city block. It’s light and airy, always building, bits of synth, weave in to the air creating ambiance as they slowly tie together.
The sun is fading on this first day of Daylight Savings and I can’t help but think that Welmers and Moss of Aura aren’t a perfect compliment to the newly extended golden hour.
