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.

not that far in distance from the stage of the The Bootleg opening for King (residency) the first 2 times I saw him. But it may as well be a billion miles away from those nights in June 2013. Just 26 months later from unknown opener at The Bootleg to Hollywood Bowl—
He made everyone in the bar that night in June STFU and pay attention and now he gets the chance to make the bowl crowd put down the wine glasses and brie and do the same— they won’t regret it
