Elliot Moss today shared the cinematic video for his evocative, slow-burning new single ‘Silver + Gold’, directed by himself and Kevin Condon. Of the song, Moss explains,
“‘Silver + Gold’ is about putting your search for happiness into a person or object; something tangible to chase after. Only to realize that in doing so, you’ve misunderstood the meaning of happiness altogether.”
The track is the third released from Moss’ forthcoming sophomore album A Change In Diet, due out January 17, 2020 on Pod / Inertia Music , and follows the pulsating ‘July 4’ and stirring ‘Barricade’.
The NY-based Moss caught the attention of NPR Music, The New Yorker, The FADER, Billboard, SPIN, Noisey, and more with his 2015 debut LP Highspeeds and 2017 EP Boomerang, and the path to A Change In Diet led his art into compellingly vulnerable new territory. Following the end of a decade-long romantic relationship and a long struggle with depression, he turned to songwriting to find catharsis and pushed himself past old comfort zones. This approach led to a more raw and uninhibited sound than Moss’ previous work, each song awash with vivid imagery and self-reflection. He uses the motif of “bending a body into shapes” as a conceptual launching pad throughout the album, examining our willingness to make concessions in order to fit in or maintain certain status quos within our lives—even if it’s damaging in the long run.
A Change In Diet represents a shift—a dividing line separating nearly everything Moss once knew from his future—and captures a period of upheaval that altered his habits, relationships, and even his songwriting. Across the 11 songs, he methodically details the nature of change and the ways it can be liberating, discomforting, and often essential.
“A change in diet is one of the first things that any self-help resource or therapist will recommend to you,” he explains. “The title is almost a joke because it feels like a crazy oversimplification of your problem. But at the same time it’s not wrong. It’s rarely one singular change that needs to be made, it is many incremental changes. And everything contributes.”

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
