Mora

I listen to songs five times in a row before they stick. If I find a good video, I know it matters. Sonny Moore’s Mora hit that mark—the sound, the design, the artist, all fitting together in a way that felt right.

Moore’s got the look of someone running on too much coffee or something else entirely, can’t quite tell. Reminds me of a younger, more wired version of Anthony from Antony and the Johnsons. The song’s off his album Gypsyhook, which has a title track with the same name, but Mora is the one that keeps playing.

The real question is whether it survives a tenth listen without wearing thin. Most things don’t. Maybe this one will.
