Album Review: MOSS by Maya Hawke

Maya Hawke's sophomore effort MOSS feels more spare than 2020's autumnal Blush, as though the passing season has diminished its lush foliage to a spectral winterscape, the bare bones of the Stranger Things actress' creative soul protruding upward through the snow. On MOSS, this quality is a virtue, as it provides Hawke an even more intimate setting in which to share confessional snapshots of her life. While Hawke's recounted memories are unique to her own world, the album retains an emblematic quality, its sense of melancholic uncertainty and wistful pining reflecting a universal experience shared among twenty-somethings everywhere.

While 'Blush' had its roots set more into an indie-rock sphere, brand new sophomore album 'MOSS' strips this back, almost to the bone.
