Singer-songwriter Moses Sumney spent better than a year captivating L.A. audiences with his soulful folk music and club performances built around his heavenly voice and live-looping skills. He released just a trickle of songs, including last summer’s bedroom EP “Mid-City Island,” made on a 4-track cassette loaned to him by TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek. Since theyn, he has traipsed across the world, touring with the likes of Beck, Karen O and Local Natives. Similarly, Sumney’s gorgeous new lament “Seeds” was recorded in a cabin in Big Bear, where he sequestered himself last winter. Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor did the mix, and the song will be out this summer on a 7-inch to be released by Terrible Records. Sumney has fuller-formed music in him, to be sure, but this third helping of his intimate side is oh-so-sweet.
