Bob Moses are blinking into the void — and it sounds glorious
New album BLINK lands October 17. First single “Last Forever” is out now
What does it mean to chase meaning in a world where everything disappears in a flash?
That’s the question Bob Moses are asking on BLINK, their fourth studio album and a haunting, groove-laced meditation on time, distance, and the weight of memory. The LP drops October 17 via AWAL — but the first look is already here: “Last Forever”, a melancholic bomb tailor-made for the 2AM soul-searcher.
This isn’t just another record. BLINK feels like a transmission from the in-between: between coasts, between genres, between past and present. Crafted remotely by Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance—with Howie in LA and Vallance in NYC—tracks started as Dropbox sketches and Discord loops before coalescing in sessions across Toronto, Vancouver, and their native Canada.
And maybe that fragmented process is the point. The record moves like a dream: snapshots of love, loss, longing, and fleeting clarity. BLINK isn’t about holding on — it’s about what happens when you can’t.
“It wasn’t a conscious concept,” says Howie, “but the way we made the record fits the theme — it’s a phase in our lives where we’re doing everything in moments.”

That might be true, but Bob Moses have always thrived in the tension between worlds. Since breaking out in 2015 with Days Gone By, they’ve sat somewhere between the darkroom and the mainstage — club kids with guitars, indie boys with drum machines. From Coachella to Coors Light commercials, from deep cuts to Alternative chart smashes, their hybrid sound refuses to be boxed in.
BLINK continues the evolution. Ten tracks. One feature (CRi on the silky “Keep Love Waiting”). All killer, no fluff. From the smoldering “We Made It” to the title track’s existential pulse, it’s a body of work that lives in motion — and begs to be heard live.
Which brings us to the tour. If you’ve seen Bob Moses in the wild — whether under the Mykonos sun or deep in a Vegas haze — you already know. It’s a show that hits as hard emotionally as it does physically. They’re locked in. They’re touring heavy. And they’re bringing BLINK with them.
Catch them this summer from Scorpios to Sumerwaves, Portola to Art of the Wild — then run it back when the album lands in October.
Bob Moses aren’t trying to make music for forever. They’re making music for right now.
And sometimes, that’s the same thing.
