Moxi sounds like the exact moment between being awake and falling asleep, where the world feels soft but slightly uncanny. Anna Toy’s vocals are remarkably light, almost weightless, drifting over a sea of moody keyboards and textured electronics. It is music that feels deeply rooted in the atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest or high mountain isolation, carrying a chill that is both comforting and a little bit eerie.
What makes them distinctive is the 'hidden violence' buried in the arrangements. While the surface is shimmering and melodic, the percussion and synth textures often carry a subtle grit or a jagged edge that prevents the music from becoming too sweet. This tension reflects the band's inspiration from life-altering events and the supernatural, giving their pop sensibilities a weight and depth rarely found in the genre.
Start with 'Figures Bathed in Light' for the full experience of their cinematic sound. It captures the duo's ability to turn a traumatic near-death experience into something soaring and hopeful, showcasing their signature blend of 80s new wave nostalgia and modern electronic production.
