How Do You Feel About Getting Married? Out Now - https://Dijon.lnk.to/Married

Jesse was late again, but I don’t mind I’ll wait for him
Jesse gets mean sometimes
But I don’t mind, he’s got a lot on his mind.
And dammit Jesse. It’s true. I do love you
And dammit Jesse. It’s true. I do trust you

Jesse’s a mess again
So I lie awake with him
And he’s holding on to something I can’t see
But it’s alright, I’m safe with him

And dammit Jesse. It’s true
I do, love you
And dammit Jesse. It’s true, I do trust you

And he could be bad, and turn his back;
He could break all his promises. But when I see Jesse I smile.
When I see Jesse I smile.
He could be bad, and turn his back;
He could break all his promises. But when I see Jesse I smile.
When I see Jesse I smile.

In the late 90’s, east-side LA was in the throws of a post-indie explosion; a network of stoned bands ranging from neo-psychedelia to pseudo-country overran Spaceland (our generation’s Troubadour) and the local Silverlake Lounge. I was playing freakbeat records twice a week in dive bars, half of Spacemen 3 was crashing at my house (my drop-out roommate was Sonic Boom’s tour drummer) and it was during this blur that I met Raymond Richards, a clean-cut all-American pedal steel guitarist playing in Mojave 3 (the country-tinged 4AD side project of shoegaze royalty, Slowdive). I was instantly swept off my feet, head over heels in love with Raymond's weeping tone — the most chill-inducing, emotionally responsive dialog I’d had with music since discovering Satie as a child — it was then and it is now, truly haunting. After a year of personnel trials, my roommate and I stole Raymond for our own band, and not only did he smother our songs with his enchanting steel, he was virtuosic with a variety of atypical instruments such as baritone guitar and theremin, he utilized them all. The band was short-lived — I split to jam with Ariel Pink, Raymond fled to Portland, then me subsequently to New York City — but in founding the ESP Institute years later, there was always a recurring mental note; "we must make Raymond’s pedal steel album." I had managed to wrangle his blessed performance on a remix for Project Club’s 'El Mar Y La Luna', but it took almost a decade until I once again wore the producer hat and we began working on 'The Lost Art Of Wandering', a title borrowed from Sam Shepard’s 'Stories'. Spiritually candid, expansive yet enveloping, this is the strung-out, visceral country music that simply radiates from Raymond. Each song is his set of coordinates in a vast open terrain, holding a sentimental familiarity, a truthful longing for the simple comforts that diffuse life’s complications, a place to get lost. —Lovefingers

“Sometimes, life has a funny way of placing us in the middle of controversy…Each side of conflict bleeds over to the border that separates them to create what we know as the “gray area”…My life IS the gray area.”

Birthed by his African American mother, Garrett Thomas Moses was the product of an interracial relationship where he was raised in a single parent house-hold for most of his adolescent life. Growing up as the “white boy” in College Station, Arkansas, Garrett was an easy target for bullying which led to difficulty making friends. Determined to be anything but a statistic, he was able see the outcome of being in the streets and decided to vent his frustrations on paper. He always had an interest in music, but was discouraged from it due to his lack of being musically inclined. His need to have a voice eventually led to the beginning of countless hours of trial and error to learn how to produce, record, mix, and even sing so he wouldn’t have to rely on the efforts of other people to succeed.

Married to the love of his life, Garrett’s number one priority is to be there for his children to provide them with the childhood he was robbed of, and set an example on how a relationship should be.

“My music is a voice for the voiceless, and a reason to keep moving even when some might feel they have no purpose. My relationship is a guide on how to love between husband and wife, between father, son, and daughter, and between human to human.


Family is everything."
