The new nine-song album from the Salt Lake City-based indie rockers is out now, a collection rooted in personal freedom, self-confidence and the kind of life that doesn\u2019t wait for permission.<\/p>\n<p>Frontman Tyke James has lived that life in full, working a horse ranch in Montana, surfing in France, paragliding in Utah, living out of a van in Santa Cruz. The band\u2019s sound reflects all of it, pulling from \u201960s surf-rock, the melodic sensibility of the Beatles, reggae\u2019s rhythmic looseness and a hard-edged \u201990s emo aesthetic that echoes the Replacements, U2 and Vampire Weekend.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Big Blue Moon\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2XMTEwKMIhUOsU92RYdSy9?si=HxiWO_KMSim_P3PaDR2r9Q&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis is our first complete project in years,\u201d says Tyke. \u201cI feel like a totally different person from the last time we released an album. We have been writing and touring the whole time, and growing as people. We love how it came together and are proud to have found a more current version of our music in the studio this past year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Big Blue Moon\u2019 arrives with real momentum behind it. The Moss have accumulated over 75 million streams, earned an Alt Press \u201cRising Artist To Watch\u201d nod, and built a live reputation across major festivals including Bottlerock, Levitate, Ohana and Paradies alongside Briston Maroney. Their Insomnia EP title track alone drove more than 25 million streams and landed on Spotify\u2019s U.S. Viral 50 chart with strong support from Sirius XM\u2019s Alt Nation.<\/p>\n<p>The album captures what Tyke has always chased, that intersection between the natural world and pure sound. \u201cThe balance of nature is the most creative thing in the world,\u201d he says. \u201cGetting to a place where you\u2019re either meditating, surfing or hiking, it\u2019s easy to tap into that energy.\u201d \u2018Big Blue Moon\u2019 carries that energy into nine cohesive, irresistible tracks.<\/p>\n<p>The spring 2026 headline tour is underway now, with a run of dates across the U.S. wrapping at Kilby Block Party in Salt Lake City on May 16th alongside Lorde, The XX, Modest Mouse and more.
