After years of honing his craft in various bands across New York while navigating personal and professional endeavours, Moss reemerges with a collection that not only revives the essence of his earlier work, but also demonstrates the wisdom and evolution gained over two decades.

With ‘Another Go’, Moss embraces a vibrant yet introspective approach, creating a soundscape that seamlessly bridges the gap between vintage inspiration and modern ingenuity. Infused with the infectious charm of 60s-era guitar tones and polished with contemporary finesse, the album feels both nostalgic and refreshingly innovative.
