A wandering reverie holds the pen for Elanor Moss as she relates the story of “Sarah Waiting in the Car”. Classical strings hover like angels over the acoustic guitar picking and deep breaths of sonic accents that become the drifting melody cradling the fragile, yet sturdy, words that tell the tale. Elanor Moss’ vocals appear as breaths, her voice christening each word with its own emotion. The gently plucked guitar notes accent the melodies like stars peeking out from behind a cloudy night sky. Her recent release, The Knife, The Needle gently lays out the “Secrets of the Universe” on hesitant notes, slowing to reverential note patterns to present a heartfelt wish with “Again, My Love”.
A lonely horn calls out to the finger-picked guitar notes that freckle “Fixer” while fragility as thin as fine china tells the tale of “Louise”.. The soundscape of The Knife, The Needle can find peers in the basement clubs and bare bulb-lit stages to play host to Folk musicians. Playing tag across the songs of The Knife, The Needle, joy and pain step lightly over Psychedelicized Folk music, Elanor Moss guiding the stories with a birdsong warble and masterfully delivered classical guitar. The unknown becomes a character in the love story snug in the outside ambience of “The Way That It Feels” as The Knife, The Needle is a fly on the wall as Elanor Moss wears the skin of a traveling troubadour in “Clothes in a Hotel Sink” while she tenderly whispers “You Are Coming Home Tonight”.
