Speaking Across Time [Vinyl]

Gilligan Moss – the Brooklyn-based duo composed of best friends Ben + Evan – announce their new album ‘Speaking Across Time’, set for release August 23rd on ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective imprint. The album follows their widely loved self-titled debut from 2021 and a steady stream of singles throughout 2022 and 2023, which resulted in the duo receiving impressive support from the likes of BBC R1, 6Music, KCRW and KEXP.

On ‘Speaking Across Time’, each of the album’s 12 tracks encapsulate personal moments through a lens of timelessness. 90s rave, old country, 70s soul, honky-tonk piano house and even a sample of poet and longtime mentor David Mason collide under Gilligan Moss’ skillful incorporation of samples, well-written songs and modern dance music production. As the duo elaborate, “Our work is often sample-based, so speaking across time is a nice nod to the ability for old music and feelings to be re-communicated/re-expressed and also to know that many years from now our music will communicate some other feeling to people listening then.”

Looking to explore that tension between connection and separation, Gilligan Moss says “the music and visual art by Orly Anan reflect a duality and a splitting- the joyful magic of music bringing bodies together and the joy of energy exchange.”

The duo have performed at notable festivals such as Coachella, Pitchfork Paris and Electric Forest while supporting the likes of Glass Animals, Toro Y Moi, Tourist, Chromeo, ODESZA, Elderbrook and more. They will be embarking on a North American tour in support of Speaking Across Time.
