Moss

Never Be Scared/Don't Be A Hero . Their masterpiece from 2009, you say. It has turned out to be an album title with predictive gifts. That duality is Moss through and through. Never too afraid to change course. To embrace synthesizers. To make rockers dance. To make dancers rock. But frontman Marien Dorleijn cannot be caught on big words. Others can play the hero. The next beautiful song has to be written. And that resulted almost immediately in another five-star undertaking, Ornaments . The album that brought Moss from Iceland to Canada via America to many dreamed-of festivals.


In their own country, the band has become vital cultural heritage, from Radio 2 to Platomania. In 2017, De Volkskrant called the album Strike a highlight in Dutch rock music. In the meantime, Marien continues to work undisturbed. As King Midas in civilian clothes. The gold shines wherever he appears. The productions for Robin Kester. The cherished project Opera Alaska. But first and foremost, the fearless Moss.
