\"Elliot<\/a><\/p>\n

By Dylan McDaniel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last night Lefort<\/strong> took a trip out to WeHo<\/strong> to catch up-and-comer\u00a0Elliot Moss<\/a><\/strong> perform at the hallowed Troubadour<\/strong>. It was our second Troubadour<\/strong> show in four nights (the last being some unsung band named, umm what was it, oh yeah,\u00a0The National<\/a><\/strong>). While the crowd was very different for Moss<\/strong>, the show was once again musically memorable. \u00a0To our ears\u00a0Elliot Moss<\/strong> sounds like a mix of Baths, Bon Iver<\/strong>, and James Blake<\/strong>, with falsetto vocals, keyboards, electronic beats, and horns all tossed together in a captivating mix. Moss’s<\/strong> first album Highspeeds<\/strong>\u00a0<\/i>was a comparatively-subdued album, full of songs about giving up (or fighting that urge), but live at the Troubadour<\/strong> (and backed by a bassist\/keyboardist, and drummer) there was no giving up by Moss<\/strong> and crew, with a much more electric and positive feeling in the air.\u00a0Moss<\/strong> played only five songs, including the excellent Slip<\/strong><\/em> and Highspeeds<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(check out both superb songs below), but made each count. Unfortunately, that’s all the time that was allotted t0 the more-deserving Moss<\/strong>. Rest assured, the next time Moss<\/strong> comes to Cali,<\/strong> he won’t be the opener. \u00a0He’ll slip into higher ground.<\/p>\n
