Art Moore - "A Different Life"

The previous two singles from Art Moore (the new band featuring Taylor Vick of Boy Scouts and Sam Duerkes and Trevor Brooks of Ezra Furman's band) have had this unique sound that is folk-like but far too electronic to be fully folk. Their latest single dives even deeper into the world of synths and electronic music. "A Different Life" is much more of a pop song, albeit an alt-pop one. It's a song that is dripping with both sadness and optimism, as it's about heartbreak and the open world of possibilities that come after a break up.

Taylor Vick says of the new song:

"'A Different Life' was inspired by the experience of daydreaming up another version of your life. I can easily get caught up in the imaginary worlds in my head, overwhelmed by the endless possibilities and versions of me that exist within them. But I am most fascinated by the version just parallel to this one, the one with only a few differences or enhancements. This song is about the experience of longing for that not so far off possibility."

Art Moore - "Muscle Memory"

Art Moore is the musical project of Taylor Vick (Boy Scout) and Ezra Furman collaborators Sam Durkes and Trevor Brooks. The trio's new single, "Muscle Memory," has a very distinct folk-like feel, if folk can be awash in synths. Typically I would never call any song with this many synths anything resembling folk, but "Muscle Memory" has a surprisingly organic feel to it even without relying on string instruments. It's a quiet, personal sounding song that is still somehow a mini-epic in size.

Taylor Vick talks about the band's new single:

"Muscle Memory was inspired by the many phases of life we go through and the friendships that exist within them that inevitably transform as we continue through life. I wanted to write about this experience from a neutral perspective, one with the belief that it’s neither a good or bad thing but simply a given in life. It’s a more fictionalized version of my personal experience which was the kind of writing I gravitated towards most in this band."

Art Moore - "Snowy"

Art Moore didn't form to write or release albums of music. Instead, the new band featuring Taylor Vick of Boy Scouts and Sam Durkes and Trevor Brooks of Ezra Furman's band, started working together with the intention of making music for film and television projects. The trio found working together easy and decided to form an actual band. Their first single, "Snowy," is the kind of song that blurs the line between indie rock, pop, and even Americana. Musically the song is too electronic to be folk, but it has that same easygoing, melodic feel you'd associate with folk. Vick's vocals have this unique melody that is going to be impossible to resist. The whole package creates this warm and dreamy vibe you're going to love.

Taylor Vick says of the band's new song:

"This song takes the perspective of a widow on a road trip, the thoughts they might have while traveling alone and having conversations as if they're still around. Snowy is that feeling that someone is right next to you, but you know they can't be."

You can watch the video for "Snowy" below. The song is available as a single via ANTI- Records. For more on Art Moore, check out the band's website. Upcoming tour dates opening for Ezra Furman are below the video.
