Album Review: Moses Sumney Gets You grae
I have followed Moses Sumney for quite some time, and always knew his ability to make life feel like an abstract painting would enrapture the world. He arranges songs like a dove that refuses to be captured, even if its ethereal nature is gutting through hellish territory. No matter how dark he turns a synth, his voice and presentation refuses to not capture a hint of warm lightness. In grae, out May 15, he furthers his ability to make life a spiritual experience you can, actually, post about.

From “Virile” to “Bystanders,” I am being totally serious when I say that Moses Sumney’s grae feels like a night-time stroll through The Met. There you are, alone at night, waltzing through the hals of artworks that carried the weights and perceptions of different generations. Every song of his feels like its on a separate canvas, but seamlessly escorts you to the next room where a high note and blots and jots of colorful notions awaits you. Lyrically, Sumney delivers like a man putting all his feelings into syncopated, verses of poetry. He feels like that notepad intelligent people leave, by their bed, for when, in the middle of their slumber, brilliance strikes. Thus, the next day, you are left to piece together your dreamt rhythms and thoughts, of which he actually does.

There is something fantastical to grae that makes it very specific and special. Sumney’s style is meant for the person with a big mind and big heart that can’t seem to bridge both properly: an emotional theme throughout grae. Imagine That! Having two expansive parts of you, your mind and soul, unable to ever link and create a smoother path? Thus, sonically, grae is a rollercoaster that feels like Frank Ocean and Andre Leon Talley united forces to make sound a fabric you can see. For More Information On Moses Sumney’s grae Click Here.
