Shannen Moser wants to have a conversation: with their past selves, their
present self, their undesignated, unfurling future selves; with the trees that
adorn their old street, and the door they used to call home; with the shadows of
lovers-turned-to-friends and the overwhelming cacophony of abrupt change.
They’re drawing a map but the port of call is cloudy and indistinct.
It’s while traveling along these nebulous contours that their latest
album The Sun Still Seems To Move forms a kind of physicality, of outstretched
giving hands, that offers a guide through the fog. Here, Moser examines the
disorientating, challenging task of trying to hold onto
ourselves––and everything else––all at once. But
this isn’t a fatalistic journey of melancholy or apprehension. Instead,
Moser celebrates the small steps and the unwavering perseverance that makes it
all worthwhile.

Moser’s previous albums Oh, My Heart (2017) and I’ll Sing (2018)
were praised for their careful, intimate arrangements that showcased their
sharp, interpersonal narration and time-less lush vocals. On The Sun Still Seems
To Move, their first release in four years, Moser takes the arresting simplicity
of their past LPs to form a malleable foundation, and combines it with
orchestral swells and poignantly-rich harmonies.

The Sun Still Seems to Move is an album of reckoning with death and trauma, with
all the shapes that love can take and all the people we’ve been and will
become. It’s a record of regret and relief, unlocking every facet of
feeling with an unabashed yet tender vigor. It’s watching the clouds bend
to a new shape and still staying outside. It’s cry-laughing on the phone
to an old friend, and trying to trust yourself again. By leaning into–and
being at the whim–of this kind of vulnerability, Moser is able to
navigate the spaces between the losses to produce a truly honest and lustral
work. “Holding space for all of these feelings is confusing, but I think
that’s what makes the world turn,” they explain. “It’s
love and grief existing in tandem and it feels like this never ending,
switch-ing one out for the other.
