Description

Recorded in 2014, ‘Mid-City Island’ is the first ever project to be released from Moses Sumney.

Moses recorded the entire EP from his apartment in Mid-City, Los Angeles straight to cassette on a four-track recorder that TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek lent him.

To mark the 10-year anniversary of ‘Mid-City Island’, Moses kept good on a promise he made to himself all those years ago, broke and starting out - that he would press it to vinyl in a decade.

Reflecting back on that period, Moses says “Mid-City, Los Angeles was more of a concept than a place. Seemingly nobody had ever heard of it, and yet it was the geographic centre of the city. Living there felt analogous to my disposition as a ‘rising’ Angeleno - highly visible and invisible at the same
time. I sat on my bedroom floor and wrote ‘Plastic’.”

Throughout his 10-year career, Moses Sumney has consistently evaded definition as an act of duty: technicolour self-directed videos and monochrome clothes; Art Rock and Black Classical; blowing into Fashion Weeks from a small town in North Carolina; seemingly infinite collaborators, but one staggering voice. Consistent across the worlds of music, fashion, and film is his assertion that the undefinable still exists and dwelling in it is an act of resistance.

Available to pre-order now on 'indies only' vinyl.

Released on Friday 6th September.
