Interview with Bob Moses

We had the pleasure of interviewing Bob Moses over Zoom video!

GRAMMY® Award-winning duo Bob Moses recently released their highly anticipated new albu, The Silence in Between, via the Los Angeles-based band’s third full-length, released via Domino Recording Company/Astralwerks. In celebration of The Silence in Between’s arrival, Bob Moses have shared a new single and video called “Hanging On,” a heavy-hearted but wildly life-affirming anthem.

The follow-up to Bob Moses’ JUNO Award-nominated 2020 project Desire and their first full-length since 2018’s Battle Lines (featuring the hit single “Back Down”), The Silence in Between fully captures what they refer to as the “ambient psychic unrest” of the current moment. With its moody collision of house music and emotionally potent pop, the album emerged from a period of immense upheaval in the lives of Vancouver-bred musicians/producers Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance.

The fourth single released from The Silence in Between, “Hanging On” perfectly reflects the album’s duality of darkness and light, abounding in luminous melodies and effervescent rhythms even as Bob Moses speak to a certain weariness at the world around them.

Directed by Adrian Villagomez and Derek Branscombe and produced by Repertoire, the video for “Hanging On” centers on a full-band performance of the track, playing for an intimate audience blissfully lost in the music. As the starkly lit visual unfolds, the ground around the stage begins to crumble away. In a profoundly moving metaphor for carrying on in troubled times, the chaos ultimately brings everyone closer together as they fight to lift each other up.

Prior to the release of The Silence in Between, Bob Moses shared three hypnotic singles from the album: “Time And Time Again” (a November single accompanied by a spellbinding video); “Love Brand New” (a January release that cracked the Top 15 on the Alternative radio chart), and “Never Ending” (a February track praised by the likes of Clash, who hailed it as “indicative of the pair’s creative passions, blending ethereal electronics with the subtle use of club tropes”).

Bob Moses’ first full-length since signing to Astralwerks in a unique global partnership with Domino Recording Co., The Silence in Between is the latest body of work in a dynamic catalog that also includes their acclaimed debut album Days Gone By — a 2015 release featuring such standouts as “Tearing Me Up,” a Top 15 US Alternative radio hit nominated for two GRAMMY® Awards, with a remix from RAC winning in the category of Best Remix Recording (Non-Classical).
