Forest of Beards are delighted to announce the show of Allie Moss.
With her new album out called Late Bloomer hitting the stores she is playing lots of small shows to play it out. For people who may not of heard of Allie Moss i can assure you that you have heard her without realising; for all of you who watch tv that is. Have a listen to her below.
When i first tracked Allie Moss down on myspace she was the artist who you had heard but never knew, then once you listen more, you think to your self how have you not heard more of this women! With songs that bring truth back to music it gets you away from all the commerical crap which is being produced these days and makes you realise that good and honest music is still out there.
A nice review on her album
‘Late Bloomer’ is the debut album of New Jersey’s beauty-blessed, guitar wielding songwriter, Allie Moss. While her female contemporaries are singing about S&M and erectile dysfunction, Moss has swerved such vulgarity and practices the somewhat archaic tradition of writing love songs – with impressive results. Late Bloomer is crammed with sweet, romantic sentiments yet – surprisingly – it never grows mawkish. ‘Corner’ is a song that you’ve doubtless heard before and its flawless vocals, infectious melody and beautiful yet brief lyric sets the tone for the entire album. It leaks into the slightly more sombre ‘Dig With Me’ and eventually, into the jaunty ‘Melancholy Astronautic Man’, a song that wouldn’t look out of place on ‘Space Oddity’. The self-titled track is a joy: the reiterative chorus of ‘I’ll always be a late bloomer’ is somehow more autobiographical than any 500-pager will ever be. Beyond this, ‘Something To Hold On To’ and ‘Prisoner Of Hope’ are highlights, but there’s really not a dud song on the album. Throughout, the Bacharach-like lyrics are unrelenting in their quality and expose their writer’s eloquence and intelligence in equal measure. ‘Late Bloomer’ may not be the urgent, tendentious piece that we, present-epoch dwellers want, nay need, but it really is a beautiful piece of pop music that should be listened to be the loved and loveless alike.
To be able to put this show on is a pleasure and to surround it with such good youthfull and fresh talent gives you a tingle!
