Moses Sumney
Moses Sumney (born 19 May 1990) is a Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter. Growing up, he was so shy that he would write songs avidly but hide them inside his mattress. At 20, he moved out of his parents' house to study creative writing at UCLA and finally gathered the courage to start performing music. After purchasing a beat-up guitar from a friend, he taught himself to play and accompany himself. He grew quickly as an artist at UCLA, soon performing weekly alongside the university's most esteemed musicians.

HEART GET HARD
before we ever learn what it costs to get them back. ​“Heart Get Hard” was born out of that tension—between the desert dust we inherit and the open waters we chase, between faith passed down second-hand and the reckless promises made before we even knew what love was. It’s an Americana noir journey built on dry, driving rhythms, raw close-up vocals, and an operatic release that turns memory into survival. ​Plug in your best headphones, hit play from start to finish, and let the dust settle. ​What part of your past did you swear you’d leave behind, only to find it still calling the shots? Drop your thoughts below.more

NO CEILING
NO CEILING was born out of a moment of creative exhaustion in the studio, when I realized I needed to translate into sound the absolute urgency of taking a deep breath and shattering every invisible ceiling or limit holding me back. I didn't want just another standard happy chord progression; I wanted to construct the exact physical sensation of flinging open the doors and staring into an infinite horizon. I spent hours layering luminous synthesizers, opening up the frequency spectrum to create a vivid sense of open air, and calibrating every single transient so the drums would propel the body upward as if gravity had just been switched off. This track is the raw translation of that exact second when you realize there are no walls left surrounding you—it is pure sonic freedom engineered to make your chest expand and your mind take flight, turning studio friction into a breathtaking vertical ascent straight into the light. more
