Moss

About Me

The name's Moss. Three Dutchies from Amsterdam and one Englishman. A musical base of acoustic guitar combined with Fender Rhodes. If Marien Dorleijn (winner GPNL’99) and the lads do one thing right it's writing beautiful songs that are both enticing and enduring. Singer Marien Dorleijn was playing in the acclaimed Dutch band Caesar when he met then lightengineer Bob Gibson.
Together they started writing music and in the next two years Finn Kruyning and Jasper Verhulst were to join them. Moss was born. Together with producer Frans Hagenaars they have been working intensly on their debutalbum: The Long Way Back, released on Excelsior Recordings in february 2007.
Moss is currently working on their second album. DUE SEPTEMBER 28th, 2009.
In februari 2007 bracht Moss haar debuut uit bij Excelsior Recordings. Die drie Amsterdammers en die Engelsman dus. Die lui met die basis van Fender Rhodes plus acoustische gitaar en die begenadigde songwriter Marien Dorleijn die ook ooit in Caesar speelde. De plaat werd in een uitverkocht Paradiso gepresenteerd en de pers was al net zo enthousiast als het publiek die avond.
Dat was een lekkere start en vervolgens stond de plaat in de Moordlijst, werd single ‘Light of my Life’ weken achtereen gedraaid op 3fm, speelden ze zoal met Guillemots, Coparck, We are from Barcelona, Bettie Serveert, Johan en Razorlight en openden op speciaal verzoek van Romeo meerdere malen voor de Magic Numbers. Toen het Oerolfestival eenmaal voorbij was en het winter werd stond de plaat in de jaar top 10 van Leo Blokhuis en noemde Dolf Jansen ze reeds de leukste Nederlandse band van het moment.
Bob Gibson, die Engelsman dus, is naast toetsenist en gitarist van Moss ook een veelbesproken exposerend kunstenaar die ook bij de London Police behoort . Voor het bijzondere artwork van de band werkte hij met tekeningen uit zijn geroemde collectie en met name uit zijn Imaginary City Concept. Voor de videoclip voor 'Light of my life' wilde hij graag die bekende Moss-stad -zoals ‘ie nu ook wel genoemd wordt-, tot leven brengen. Met hulp van het TAXfonds bewerkten specialisten van de Creative Animal studios in Hilversum met monnikengeduld de stad tot animatie en kwam tot een verbluffend en fantasievol resultaat. Eén waar je in vogelvlucht doorheen kunt zoeven. Met natuurlijk ook de mannen van Moss als inwoners van hun eigen stad.
Van de zomer speelt Moss op de Parade, een tour in Essex en doen ze een serie optredens vooruitlopend op de reeds voorbereide opvolger van The Long Way Back, die rond mei 2009 wordt verwacht.
Laatste nieuws: tweede album komt uit in september 2009! Signed, sealed, delivered!
