Moss Of Aura

Moss Of Aura is J. Gerrit Welmers, keyboardist for Future Islands. His most recent album, March, is full of tropical instrumental jams that are beautifully layered and filled with subtlety. If you dig Future Islands, you'll love this... it's the type of music that just begs to be listened to around this time of year.

Every track on the album is great, but here are three of my favorites.

Moss Of Aura - Team

Moss Of Aura - Shallow

Moss Of Aura - Climb

Future Islands

Look, I'm not saying that Steffen invented the blogosphere. I'm just saying that he is solely responsible for making it what it is today: a place where good-looking people can get together to talk about cool, fun and/or sexy things...

Enter Future Islands from Baltimore. They're cool, fun AND sexy! And hot diggity dog do they make some insanely good tunes. They're a synth-pop outfit fronted by a dude who looks like Jack Black and sounds like Danzig. Their songs are just drenched in that kind of wistful sun-drenched beauty you can only find at a sunset bonfire with all your best homeys... 'naw mean?

Thanks Steffen for inviting me to contribute to this blog. As far as I can tell, it is the best blog. I hope I can do it justice.
