mòs ensemble – albumrelease

mòs ensemble is a Belgian-Italian band with a penchant for the grey areas between genres, where the rich arrangements of voices and instruments can be shown to their best advantage. The eight-piece ensemble is here to present their fourth full-length album: a celebration of life in all its unpredictability, viewed with a loving eye for the mundane.

The voices and lyrics of Roos Denayer (Rosa Butsi), Marta Del Grandi, Astrid Creve (Arra Di Allas) and Kobe Boon (Steiger, Volpe) form the beating heart of the music. The whimsical playing of Artan Bulesjkaj (Plain Songs, Anemic Cinema), Ambroos De Schepper (Whoman, Bandler Ching), Benjamin Hermans (Elemy) and Simon Raman (Steiger, Ivy Falls) keeps the bustle constantly in motion. 

Vocals, wind instruments, guitar, mandolin, synths, bass and drums come together to colour a shared canvas on which emotion, imagination and interpretation are constantly interwoven. mòs ensemble tells stories about people trying to understand themselves, their place in the world and their relationships with others. It is a story that is often told, but rarely presented with this combination of imagination, skill and collective vision.

With their unique band sound, mòs ensemble strikes a balance between avant-pop, improvisation and eclectic folk.
