What the press is saying about the music of græ so far:

"Moses Sumney excels in defiance"
Afropunk

"finds him taking his sound in directions he's never gone before"
Brooklyn Vegan

"Expect constant greatness"
Consequence of Sound

"matches his sonic artistry with expressive lyricism"
Hypebeast

"a triumphant return"
Paste

"a stirring, crashing piece of work"
Stereogum

After closing out 2019 with "Virile" and "Polly," Moses Sumney enters 2020 with another new song. "Me in 20 Years" is taken from Part 2 of his highly-anticipated double LP græ and is co-produced by Sumney, Daniel Lopation (Oneohtrix Point Never), and Matt Otto.

græ will be released via Jagjaguwar Records -- the first part due digitally in February of 2020, with the second part, as well as the physical album, due May 15th. The album is a conceptual patchwork about greyness and expands upon the sonic universe built in Sumney's critically-acclaimed debut LP Aromanticism and subsequent EP Black In Deep Red, 2014.

The songs on græ may seem divergent, like the visceral, Smashing Pumpkins drama of "Virile," but there's always that voice, knowable and penetrating, threading the pieces together: a heavenly rasp, a whale call, Miles' horn.

The album includes collaborations with a diverse array of contributors and is Sumney's first work to be written in his new home of Asheville, North Carolina. It all works to create a paradox, keeping art and artist somewhere between any one sure thing - but surely something that demands your attention affixed and your breath bated.

Listen to "Me in 20 Years" above, see album details below, and stay tuned for more from Moses Sumney coming soon.

About Moses Sumney:
Moses Sumney evades definition as an act of duty: technicolor videos and monochrome clothes; Art Rock and Black Classical; blowing into Fashion Week from a small town in North Carolina; seemingly infinite collaborators, but only one staggering voice. A young life spent betwixt Southern California and Accra, Ghana - not so much rootless as an epyphite, an air plant. The scale is cinematic but the moves are precise deeds of art and stewardship. Sumney's new, generous double album, græ, is an assertion that the undefinable still exists and dwelling in it is an act of resistance.

There's probably a biblical analogy to be made about a person who just happens to be named Moses, who flees the binary, splits a massive body into two pieces, and leads us through the in-between - holy and wholly rebellious. By breaking up græ into two multifaceted, dynamic pieces, Sumney is quite literally creating a "grey" in-between space for listeners to absorb and consider the art. Not strictly singles, not strictly albums, never altogether songs or spoken word segments on their own. It's neither here nor there. "Neither/Nor," if you will.
