New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, GRAMMY Award-winning duo
Bob Moses share their hypnotic new single "Never Ending" and its wildly haunting narrative video. A radiant meditation on desire and the unrelenting passage of time, "Never Ending" is the latest song released from the Los Angeles-based band's highly awaited third album The Silence in Between. Pre-order The Silence in Between, due out via Domino Recording Company/Astralwerks on March 4.
A high-energy burst of bittersweet euphoria, "Never Ending" is a prime example of the dazzling complexity within Bob Moses' musicianship. To that end, the track seamlessly merges its elegantly simple melodies with more off-kilter and unexpected elements (dusty house beats, jagged stabs of synth). Lyrically, Vancouver-bred musicians/producers Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance document a moment of ephemeral bliss and the intense longing that comes with it (from the chorus: "I wanna live like this is never ending"). "We have all had moments we wanted to stay in forever,"
Bob Moses state. "This song indulges the impulse and revels in that possibility."
Directed by Cam Veitch and produced by
Black Lake, the video for "Never Ending" unfolds with all the mesmerizing suspense of a surrealist psychodrama. Through its ingenious use of multiple exposures and feverishly repeated shots, the visual creates a brilliantly disorienting effect as it follows an enigmatic couple through their darkly charmed world. Captured in the dreamy haze of fast-fading memory, "Never Ending" ultimately conjures a lovely delirium with its mystifying whirlwind of images: shattered glasses of red wine, smashed flowers, ominously spinning mirrorballs, a particularly foreboding tarot card.
The third song shared from The Silence in Between, "Never Ending" arrives on the heels of Bob Moses' recent single "Love
Brand New" — a January release that cracked the Top 15 on the Alternative radio chart and earned acclaim from the likes of Billboard (who noted that "the Nine-Inch Nails influenced single is a dark, brooding slow build that pulsates with moody lust, growls power riffs and shows off a heavier sound for the duo"). One of many exciting collaborations featured on The Silence in Between, "Love
Brand New" was co-written with Michel Zitron and
John Martin (a Swedish production duo known for their work with the likes of
Avicii and Swedish House Mafia).
Bob Moses' first body of work since signing to Astralwerks in a unique global partnership with Domino Recording Co., The Silence in Between also includes "
Time And Time Again" (a November single accompanied by a spellbinding video). The album follows Bob Moses' JUNO Award-nominated 2020 project Desire, and marks their first full-length since
Battle Lines (a 2018 effort featuring the hit single "
Back Down"). The duo's past efforts also include their 2015 debut album Days Gone By, featuring such standouts as "Tearing Me Up" — a top 15 US Alternative radio hit nominated for two GRAMMY® Awards, with a remix from RAC winning in the category of Best Remix Recording (Non-Classical). As their boldest and most viscerally charged output to date, The Silence in Between amplifies the unbridled energy that's made
Bob Moses a repeat winner of Resident Advisor's Best Live Act prize.

Bob Moses will embark on a headlining tour of North America. Kicking off on March 20 in Tucson, Arizona, the 25-date run will continue through May 21 in Vancouver, with stops at such iconic venues as The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and The Warfield in San Francisco. Later this year,

Since forming in New York City in 2012,
Bob Moses have earned massive acclaim for their transcendent blend of house music and emotionally charged pop. Made up of Vancouver-bred musicians/producers Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance, the Los Angeles-based duo delivered their debut album Days Gone By in 2015 and immediately drew praise from tastemaking outlets like Mixmag (who stated that "[i]t's hard to think of anyone who walks the line between electro-pop and deep dancefloor grooves quite as coolly as Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance"). Days Gone By featured such standouts as "Tearing Me Up": an intensely poignant track nominated for two GRAMMY Awards, with a remix from RAC winning in the category of Best Remix Recording (Non-Classical). In 2018,
Bob Moses returned with
Battle Lines, which featured the hit single "
Back Down" and led to a performance on "Ellen." Hailed by The Line of Best Fit as "versatile, dynamic party music, made by masters of their craft,"
Battle Lines also landed on Billboard's Best Electronic Albums of 2018 list. The duo's most recent triumphs include 2019's Unplugged EP, Falling into Focus - Live 2020 (a concert film documenting an hour-long set performed at an abandoned radio tower in Topanga, California), and Desire (a JUNO Award-nominated 2020 project that PopMatters lauded as "exceptional, its classic trance rhythms crafted with a sense of multidimensionality"). A longtime festival favorite,
Bob Moses have also repeatedly claimed the Best Live Act title from Resident Advisor, appearing at leading festivals like Coachella, TomorrowWorld, Lollapalooza, Ultra
Music Festival, and Bonnaroo. Newly signed to Astralwerks in a unique partnership with Domino Recordings,
Bob Moses made their label debut with "Time And Time Again," a November 2021 release that defined the start of a thrilling new era for the duo. Their recent single "Love
Brand New" is already a Top 15 hit on the Alternative radio chart, and finds
Bob Moses tapping into their deep-rooted love for '90s alt-rock and left-of-center dance music. Billboard says: "the Nine-Inch Nails influenced single is a dark, brooding slow build that pulsates with moody lust, growls power riffs and shows off a heavier sound for the duo." On March 20 in Tucson, Arizona,
Bob Moses will kick off a 25-date North American headlining tour, which will continue through May 21 in Vancouver.
