The Sun Still Seems to Move
Label founder Eric Osman likens Moser’s growth as an artist to a “caterpillar to a butterfly. This album feels like the fully formed evolution of a songwriter who was already doing captivating things.” Maybe at 16 or 17 I started writing songs, and then when I moved to Philadelphia, it gave me the confidence to share it with people. Coming here changed the trajectory of my life completely.
“Ben,” I wrote in maybe 2016. Ben was a person I grew up with. We were neighbors in the Oley Valley and we would ride the bus together. Our ride was 45 minutes so we had a lot of time to hang out. Ben was in an ATV accident, and passed. It was the first friend death I ever experienced. … So the song “Ben” is super informed by this one very special person in my life, but also the overarching theme of life being very fragile.I was living in West Philly. I had lived out there for three months with my partner and that relationship was ending during the pandemic. Yeah, that song is a straight up sad breakup song.
