Jessica Moss (CAN)

You might know Jessica Moss from her 15-year tenure with legendary ensemble 𝐀 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐭. 𝐙𝐢𝐨𝐧, with whom she popularised the term “post-rock” and wrote some of the most compelling albums in the genre to-date. In 2017 Jessica Moss released her breakthrough solo record “Pools of Light” and rose to fame as a talented solo artist of nearly boundless creativity and imagination. An haunting and chilling post-classical record, “Pools of Light” echoes with reminiscences of 𝐀 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐭. 𝐙𝐢𝐨𝐧’s classic opuses such as “He Has Left Us…” and “Horses in the Sky” yet manages to free itself of obvious comparisons by standing firmly and solidly on Jessica Moss’ drone-and-electronics-laden violin compositions and her gripping singing style. Jessica’s soundscapes are dominated by her violin with which she builds haunting and etherial soundscapes which are enriched with glimmers of Middle Eastern and Balkan sounds and rhythms.
