Moses Sumney: gr (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP

“To try to pin Moses Sumney down on a sound – and really, on any matter – is to end up with a hand full of fog, but his genius is never allowing the set to sound like a hodgepodge. His forthcoming double album expands upon the sonic universe built in Sumney’s critically-acclaimed debut LP Aromanticism and subsequent EP Black In Deep Red, 2014. The songs on gr may be divergent, like the visceral, Smashing Pumpkins drama of ‘Virile’ and the intoxicated, outro jazz of ‘Gagarin.’ There’s the kinky, ambiguous bop of ‘Cut Me’ countered with the sweeping, amphitheater-ready ‘Bless Me.’ But there’s that voice, always unknowable and penetrating, threading these pieces together: a heavenly rasp, a whale call, Miles’ horn, a soulful snarl. It all works to create a paradox, keeping art and artist somewhere between any one sure thing – but surely something that demands your attention affixed and your breath bated. All of this is gr.” -Jagjaguwar
