about

On April 19th, Moses Sumney released his special one time collaboration with B3SCI Records - a limited edition and debut physical 7" created especially for Record Store Day. The pressing is limited to only 500 copies of the 33 1/3 RPM, black vinyl and features the piece 'Moonlight Wanderer' by artist Michelle Robinson on the cover. Each side features a Moses Sumney original. Side A- titled "Scratch The Surface," a stunning collaboration with (and) production from Mocky (Feist, Jamie Lidell) and Side B- titled "Forlorn Fantasy." The 7" is available at over 200 independent record stores throughout the US, as well as limited quantity on tour with Moses Sumney and at B3SCI Records' online store.

Moses Sumney is an independent artist living and working in Los Angeles. He debuted his first-ever recorded music on April 8th, a five song EP titled Mid-City Island. Sumney has played with Beck, toured with Solange, and is currently on tour with Local Natives. He was named one of LA Weekly's "top ten artists about to blow up" and has been supported with early airplay from KCRW.

B3SCI Records is a new boutique vinyl imprint based in Los Angeles, CA that specializes in only the most relevant music of tomorrow. B3SCI Records is a division of the music blog blahblahblahscience. "We were first introduced to Moses Sumney during a B3SCI Presents gig at The Bootleg in LA almost exactly year ago on April 22, 2013," said Mike Clemenza of B3SCI. "Moses opened the evening's show and absolutely captivated (or rather shocked) attendees with his unmistakable soulful croon, augmented by a natural ability to use live performance the way a visual artist uses a canvas. Our infatuation with Moses grew since that date, and as B3SCI Records launched it's boutique vinyl imprint in late October of 2013, naturally, Moses was one of the first conversations we'd started. The mere concept of being able to share Sumney's craft with the world became a pinnacle dream of ours."

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98

Childqueen
by Kadhja Bonet

supported by 8 fans who also own “Moses Sumney - Scratch The Surface (Feat. Mocky) / Forlorn Fantasy”

The first time I heard the solemn opening bars of "Procession," I knew Childqueen was unlike any music I'd heard before. Kadhja Bonet infuses beautiful, slow funk and soul sounds with an almost druidic, Enya-like sense of mystery, with lyrical themes that range from gestures toward unspoken interpersonal truths to the ancient secrets of the forest. For me the stand-out track is "Delphine," an aching, scintillating ballad that I would currently rank as my favorite love song ever. Dominique Cyprès
