Album of the day: MOSS – Horrible Night
Posted on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013
Lovingly pinched from CVLT Nation: Despite being together as a band for nearly thirteen years, the UK-based MOSS are only now on the cusp of releasing their third full length. That’s not to say that this trio have been resting on their laurels, heck no, most years since their inception have seen a split, or a demo or an EP released into the wild – although it has been pretty quiet on the MOSS front for a few years now.
Luckily, that time was spent writing and recording Horrible Night, an album that has been a long time coming – both for fans and for MOSS themselves. You get the sense that this is what the band has been striving for and damn, do they hit the mark. Olly Pearson’s vocals are cut from the Ozzy Osbourne cloth this time around, which is certainly not a bad thing and the clean (albeit hazy) lilt that’s employed here adds a new depth to the occult vibrations that thrum so steadily and heatedly throughout the record.
‘Horrible Nights’ begins the record with downbeat guitar (Dominic Finbow) inflections that rasp and breathe with a deliciously “traditional” sound. Laden with veiled smoke, MOSS conjure images of ritual and sacrifice with naught but one guitar and a set of drums (Chris Chantler) and along with Pearson’s vocal lines they create weight and tangible riffs that spill off your speakers with processional magnificence.
The occasional fuzzy scream splits the otherwise rhythmic style of ‘Horrible Nights’ which in turn gives the track a little more flavour to go along with the dank atmosphere that creeps in and out of the record as a whole.
