Maya Hawke has been on the small screen this summer in the excellent new season of Stranger Things, and now the actor-musician is preparing to release an album as well. MOSS is out September 23 through Mom+Pop.
"This record is called MOSS because I've been gathering a lot in the last few years," said Hawke in a statement. "Sitting still and collecting a green blanket of memories and feelings. Making this record was me trying to get up and shake it off and look at all of it. It was the first step in untangling myself and really trying to look at the rock under the moss."
The album was written in collaboration with Lazar Davis, Christian Lee Hutson and Will Graefe. As a preview, Hawke has shared the single "Thérèse," which is inspired by the painting Thérèse Dreaming by Balthus. "'Thérèse' is inspired by a painting but about feeling hemmed in and stuck. Stuck as the version of yourself that someone else created," Hawke said.
Hear the single below, and see MOSS's tracklist below that. Also below, see Hawke's tour dates, including two Canadian dates opening for Faye Webster.
MOSS is available to pre-order from Bandcamp. This is the follow-up to Hawke's 2020 album, Blush.
Hawke's Stranger Things costar Joe Keery also recently announced plans for his sophomore solo album as Djo.
