Elanor Moss
‘With shades of Joanna Newsom’s dynamic originality, Elanor Moss has a stark subtlety that bowls you over in its intensity.’-CLASH
‘The biggest secret weapon in British folk right now” – Far Out Magazine
Off the back of tours with the likes of Foxwarren (Andy Shauf), Flyte, and Christian Lee Hutson, Elanor Moss releases debut album The Knife, The Needle via Merge Records. Recorded live to tape over the course of two days, the album evokes the starkness of artists such as Sibylle Baier, and the poetic sensibilities of psych-folk greats before her. A strange and shadowy record of quiet epiphanies.
“Oh and the way that it feels
To know you
Oh and the way it reveals
I don’t know you”
So begins “The Way That It Feels,” the concluding track of Elanor Moss’ debut full-length album The Knife, The Needle, out August 21, 2026 on Merge Records. In two couplets, sung over birdsong and Moss’ classical guitar, she manages to capture an entire universe created in the bond between two people. The couplets mirror each other and hang, like a veil, over the rest of the song. Regardless of time, intimacy, love, tenderness, and the way those things can change a person and a relationship, there is, she asserts, an immutable fact to these things: that whatever she learns from them, there will always be something unknowable just beyond.
