Currently one of the hardest working bands in America's burgeoning indie-rock / electronic crossover scene, Philly born now Brooklyn-based trio MOSSYROCK have been relentlessly touring their naughty broken-beats coast to coast since 1999, gaining a huge fan base along the way.
An outgrowth of the house music collective Intergalactic Faerie Funk, Mossyrock has emerged as an evolutionary progression, taking their psychedelic funk to the live stage, resulting in glistening pop loop gems not confined by a dance floor. Combining lush heady textures with guitars, bass and subtle vocals, along with their signature dirty electronic beats, the band create a sound which ignites emotion.
Mossyrock's debut CD for Toronto's nice+smooth label entitled, 'The Zero To One Sessions ', is a floating, textural romp fusing elements of their past electronic bent with their current space-jam leanings. Recent comparisons to current American peers such as The Books, Octopus Project and Toof are appropriate, as are the references and nods to the otherworldly yet highly nod-worthy sounds of The Orb, a twist of Lemon Jelly and even the slyer moods of Matthew Herbert.'
Reviews
Kind of like if Tortoise decided to make a ?dance? album. How could that not be good?
Imagine Dubtribe meeting Parliament: a tingly, friendly, psychedelic vibe. It's an irresistible sound that remains dreamy?" Philadelphia City Paper
""Favourite performance of the weekend (OM Festival, Toronto 2003) goes to (Mossyrock) for their tripped-out live tech-house throwdown? improvising on drum machines, samplers,..guitars, microphones and effects? (they) really stood apart from everything else." Now Magazine Toronto
