Teesside risers Moss return with ‘Opener’, a bold new release that marks a sharp evolution in their sound to date.

Originally born out of loose, high-energy sessions, the track quickly took on a life of its own when introduced live, earning a strong reaction from crowds and pushing the band to bring it into the studio. That immediacy carries through, with ‘Opener’ trading their usual hazy trip-hop textures for something more urgent and festival-ready.

They still explore their usual aesthetics of crunchy guitars, electronic undercurrents and the distinctive delivery of frontman Oui Bee, but it’s all been dialled up to unleash something faster and far more direct.

Since emerging in 2023, Moss have built a reputation for immersive performances, and this latest single feels designed with that energy in mind.
