Homeschooled through early youth, her parents put a real emphasis on nature, reading and music. Eventually leaving the faith, Moss started writing songs of her own in York as a student of English literature and playing open mics around the city.  While at University she also discovered songwriting greats: Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, The Beatles. Shortly after graduation, Moss met producer Oli Deakin, who offered to record her first EP, “Citrus.\" Her work with Deakin took her to New York City, where she began forging a sense of community. Between “Citrus” and her second EP, “Cosmic,” Moss toured with Christian Lee Hutson, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, and LYR, played one-off shows with Cassandra Jenkins, CMAT, and Sam Amidon, and performed at Pitchfork London, Green Man Festival, and Mosely Folk, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"elanor-moss-again-my-love","title":"Elanor Moss - \"Again, My Love\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Merge debut single from London-based songwriter \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/elanor-moss\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:hsl(0,0%,0%);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElanor Moss\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eis the first taste of new music from Moss since 2023's “Cosmic” EP and a preview of more to come in 2026.

I wrote it when I was really having a rough time. I was living a troubadour existence for the past couple of years, fitting between different places, and the uncertainty of that way of living was really getting to me. I think that one is a song for me, that I was trying to make a bit more universal.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"merge records","offers":[{"title":"Download","offer_id":52739438084407,"sku":"MRG883dig1","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/3935\/3143\/files\/6400f39204f1fa8a191424def9ce04f4dc1da230_b44579d90413ca5ffc20f397c4abba99800908ab_medium_jpg.jpg?v=1785382886"},{"product_id":"elanor-moss-the-knife-the-needle","title":"Elanor Moss - The Knife, The Needle","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eOh and the way that it feels\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo know you\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eOh and the way it reveals\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eI don’t know you\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo begins “The Way That It Feels,” the concluding track of \u003cstrong\u003eElanor Moss\u003c\/strong\u003e’ debut full-length album \u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Knife, The Needle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, out August 21, 2026 on \u003cstrong\u003eMerge Records\u003c\/strong\u003e. In two couplets, sung over birdsong and Moss’ classical guitar, she captures an entire universe created in the bond between two people, asserting that whatever she learns from love and intimacy, there will always be something unknowable just beyond. Across the nine songs that make up \u003ci\u003eThe Knife, The Needle,\u003c\/i\u003e Moss renders joy and pain in exquisite peals of psych-folk, offering an understanding of healing as a process rather than an object one obtains. Written over three years as she recalibrated her relationship with songwriting, therapy, and her family history, the album returns to “the music that made me really feel something; the music I wanted to be writing.” In its quieter, weirder, more English sound, Moss captures something fleeting, ephemeral, and honest about the moments in which love, for good or ill, irrevocably changes someone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"merge records","offers":[{"title":"Peak Vinyl (Clear Purple Wave)","offer_id":52739440410935,"sku":"MRG883LP-C1","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":52996580507959,"sku":"MRG883CD","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Download","offer_id":52739440476471,"sku":"MRG883digital","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/3935\/3143\/files\/a1df2135f9dd28ac288efd579069516af94e84f9_a6a4e9d9595a924aa852c828ab5fe42d2714ff6c_medium_jpg_e03f2c62-c04b-4829-86cc-9f465c5e473b.jpg?v=1789587726"}],"url":"https:\/\/mergerecords.com\/collections\/elanor-moss.oembed","provider":"Merge Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
