Austin-based musician and video artist tawnylawns releases her new single and video ‘MOSS’, the first glimpse of her forthcoming album Overheard At Nickel City, due October 6 via FOIL Imprints.

A wry, poppy ode to those rare humans who somehow see the silver linings in your greatest flaws, ‘MOSS’ is both catchy and bittersweet—an anthem for self-acceptance with a wink at the messy beauty of human connection. The track arrives alongside a kitschy, art-driven video built with stop-motion animation and handmade props, continuing tawnylawns’ reputation for visually inventive, art-department-heavy work.

“This record is a scrapbook of overheard moments—fragments of strangers’ lives that became little truths I could hold onto,” says tawnylawns. “‘MOSS’ is about finding joy in imperfection, and how sometimes the people who love us most are the ones who see our the silver lining in our darkest shadows.”
