VIKING MOSES

Viking Moses rose up in the center of the Zeitgeist. His face moved sharp under a scraggly beard, welcoming the Tuesday night crowd to circle round holding hands. “Tonight I’d like to sing you some songs about abandonment,” he said. “Everyone here knows that feeling in some way...I would just like to offer some hope and courage… to not let go...” The room felt well froze.

The feeling he brought felt so old. It marinated for a second then, before his less sober singing voice took hold. “Without Love, life is gone...without life love goes on and on” went the refrain of “Crosses.” Many in the circle around him seemed to recognize that song—it is featured in the Golden Apples of the Sun compilation, which was released in conjunction with Arthur magazine last spring. The record includes many of the best contemporary folk/acoustic/psychedelic players out there, and was put together by one of the best: Devendra Banhart. So yeah, for real, no matter your opinion about hipster trends or Woodstock Nation*, you should check this stuff out because his voice is like no other.
