The duo, known for their moody soundscapes and analog approach, have been mum much of this year, but are re-emerging with 2015’s conclusion on the horizon. The group’s just released a dusky reimagining of Girls’ “Vomit”, which we’re revealing publicly just below. If you’re digging this, do give last year’s album, […]
If one could calculate cool, electronica duo Bob Moses would be topping those lists currently. They are well regarded for their winding and stripped down amalgamations of house, dance and ambience, not unlike the now-concluded Darkside. Riding a massive wave of momentum from the recent release of their debut album, Days Gone By, the duo of Tom Howie […]

One of the acts I’ve been listening to most fervently the past year is an NYC based duo by the name of Bob Moses. The pair, Tom Howie & Jimmy Vallance, output soulful, at times even haunting, cuts of chilled out dance music. Its sound is not at all unlike the sort of ambience Darkside was cultivating the past […]
