Most famously known for his captivating work in photography and film, Asher Moss has now embarked on a thrilling musical journey into visceral, genre-defying sonic landscapes. Seamlessly blending 90s art-rock with contemporary electronic influences, his sound effortlessly straddles the realms of indie rock and dream pop. Having toured extensively with the likes of Rayland Baxter, Moss collaborated with Danish label En Route Records on an EP last year and is now priming fans for an eagerly awaited new EP, set to release later this year. Building anticipation for the upcoming drop, Moss has unveiled “The Man Who Sold The World,” a bold and emotive reinterpretation of the iconic David Bowie track.
The song opens with a stripped-back, pounding bass that gradually evolves into a hauntingly atmospheric composition, enriched by Moss’ ethereal, dream-like vocal tone. This unique vocal palette deepens the emotional resonance of his reworking of Bowie’s classic, adding a layer of tonality and poignancy to the track.

Reflecting on David Bowie’s original and his new work, Asher shares, “The Bowie classic made extra famous by Nirvana lives on and is now reimagined by Asher Moss with big reverberating vocals and layers of synths and guitars bringing it into the modern era. The visuals for the song are as captivating as the sounds with masterful cinematography and story telling.”
