I should back up and say that discovering Moses&#8217; music on his 2017 release, <em>Aromanticism<\/em>, and subsequently diving into his previous releases, had a profound effect on the way I listen to his music. <em>Aromanticism<\/em> made me want to slow down, sit down, and just&#8230; listen. We consume music passively in so many scenarios; making dinner, cleaning the house, gardening, half-listening while driving and having a conversation with a fellow passenger, but for whatever reason, Moses Sumney records demand my full attention, and this new release is no exception. The nineteen tracks span a very reasonable 45 minutes run time, but the listening journey is twisting, turning, slithering, soulful, cathartic and redemptive. If this was what church was like, I&#8217;d be there every Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>The music on<em> Is God Is<\/em> runs the board from intimate acoustic delta blues-inspired tracks, sprawling cinematic orchestral offerings, gospel stomps, bass-driven rock grooves, and haunting, ethereal moments, all featuring Sumney&#8217;s incredible voice. Additional vocals on the track &#8220;Sins of the Father&#8221; were done by Kara Jackson. <\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Moses Sumney &amp; Kara Jackson - Sins of the Father\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V7Wxuu_2bZ0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>When people ask for an artist or album recommendation, I often share Moses Sumney. He embodies an artistry and mastery of his craft that runs deep. Sumney&#8217;s writing and sound is so unique and truly individual in a musical landscape that is full of sound-alikes, productions using the same plug-ins, AI generated nonsense, and things that sound like AI generated nonsense. I am not here to grouse or be bitter about the state of the music biz. There is a ton of great music out there, and as many artists actively and passionately pursuing it. I like, and listen to a lot of it. I listen for work, for reference, and in the case of Moses Sumney, I listen for pleasure, and a reminder that music, in all its many forms, is going to be OK. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/48IoD6wUziva5gklVyUPBr\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!----><!----><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source tapeop.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moses Sumney, interviewed in Tape Op #125, has new music out in the form of a collaboration with composer Joseph Shirley (The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and Creed III) for the soundtrack to director Aleshea Harris\u2019 film Is God Is.
