\"\"It is undeniable that Elliot Moss\u2019s sound invites itself to comparison with other artists. His music sits in a sweet spot between Bon Iver and Chet Faker \u2014 distorted, silky vocals layered over soulful electronica. Despite the similarities, however, A Change in Diet<\/em> further establishes Moss as his own name in the alternative music scene. His lyrics are simplistic but cutting, leaving room for the well-produced backing instrumentals to soar. The songs are a seamless mixture of catchy repetition and quirky innovation.<\/p>\n

One of the most notable tracks on the album is the introspective \u201cSilver + Gold,\u201d which released as a single before the album debuted. The song evokes the sensation of driving in quiet contemplation along deserted backroads, mental state trancelike with the haze of sleepiness. This is amplified pre-chorus as Moss questions, \u201cWhere\u2019s my car even driving? I can\u2019t believe my mother***ing timing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another standout is the track \u201cIn the Same Place,\u201d a vaguely unsettling two-and-a-half-minute piece that explores the monotony of day-to-day life and the uncertainty that the future holds any changes. The end of the first verse of the song ends with, \u201cWonder where we\u2019re going today,\u201d an empty question delivered sardonically. Though the final verse finds the narrator of the song saving to \u201cbuy an old car with a racing stripe,\u201d the song concludes with \u201c\u2026we ended up in the same place,\u201d a grim revelation that we may have less control over our destinies than we wish to admit.<\/p>\n

A Change in Diet<\/em> is a cohesive, compelling album. As Elliot Moss continues to establish himself as a musician, his future appears more and more promising.
