Blink by Bob Moses

From the name I know Bob Moses sounds like 1 guy, but you would be wrong it is 2 guys. This duo composed of Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance have been making music for over a decade now. This duo was actually formed in Brooklyn, New York, but the duo are based in Vancouver. Bob Moses has become some of the best dance music while also being something you can listen to on a late night drive. 

 

From the Opening song on “Blink”, you are immediately transported by a funky beat and beautiful vocals. The production and the lyrics just feels like something Bob Moses has perfected over the years and “Time of Your Life” is a great start to this album. Another great thing about this album is that it is short, see now u could see that as a negative, but the type of Music Bob Moses make i think this is the perfect length for this album. It is only 38 minutes long which makes it easier for people who have never listened to Bob Moses to get into their music. The first couple of songs on this project really make you realize how good Bob Moses is on production. “Keep Love Waiting”, is easily one of the best songs on the album, the perfect mix of lyricism and production. It is a timeless song.

 

What makes this album so great is the ability for Bob Moses to experiment, but also keep it simple. Each track just has a great part about it and in the album there really is no fall off. Most of the songs are just up beat and really you just enjoy it. The story telling aspect is what really makes Bob Moses different from other electronic bands or duos. Sometimes people forget the story telling aspect when listening to Bob Moses because their production is so good. 

 

Bob Moses songs have a sense of purpose. It delivers the type of groove that characterizes their live performances while carrying emotional weight. It’s the kind of song that makes you realize how fleeting and lovely life can be, and it encourages you to cling on for a little while longer before it passes. Bob Moses demonstrates once more in Blink why Canada is so proud to have this elite Electronic duo.
