Jessica Moss

Jessica Moss has performed and recorded with numerous ensembles over the last two decades. Best known as member of Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra since 2001, she was also a founding member of avant-klezmer group Black Ox Orkestar and has worked extensively with Vic Chesnutt, Carla Bozulich, and Big|Brave.

Moss's solo work began in 2014 with a virtual collaboration alongside Kevin Doria (Total Life, Growing), resulting in longform pieces that tell exigent stories of troubled times. Her first solo recording was the self-released cassette Under Plastic Island (2015) recorded with Guy Picciotto (Fugazi), a beautiful, swirling meditation on the island of plastic trash floating in the ocean. In 2017 she released her first solo LP on Constellation, Pools of Light, recorded with Radwan Ghazi Moumneh.

Since then, Moss has toured extensively throughout North America & Europe, including festival appearances at Big Ears, Le Guess Who?, ATP, Basilica Hudson’s 24-Hour Drone Fest, and a mix of headlining and support dates with GAS, Xylouris White, ZU, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, among many others. Additionally, Moss has recorded with an array of collaborators over the past two years: Sarah Davachi on her latest release Gave in Rest, Roy Montgomery for an upcoming EP, L'oiseaux Tempête & G W Sok at Montreal's Hotel2Tango, and with Massimo Pupillo & Daniel O'Sullivan as Laniakea, in Wales with Thighpaulsandra. Her new solo album Entanglement will be out 26 October 2018.
