MY THOUGHTS


Bob Moses have always lived in contrasts. From their earliest days in Brooklyn warehouses to headlining stages like Red Rocks, Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance have carried the dua- lity of live band intimacy and club-dri- ven energy. With their new album BLINK, that tension feels more human than ever, colored by a new chapter in their lives: fatherhood. It is a record that does not just push their sound forward but also reflects the fragility and beauty of time itself.


Fatherhood has sharpened both their music and their perspective. Tom talks about channeling the carefree spirit of his kids when he feels stuck on stage, while Jimmy admits that parenthood stripped away indecision and forced him to trust his instincts. That honesty flows into the songs. Tracks like Last Forever and Blink carry the joy of connection alongside the sadness of knowing that nothing lasts. For the duo, family life has not only changed their


routines, it has redefined how


they see themselves as artists shaping memories for others.


Despite the Grammys, the radio hits, and the sold-out tours, they still speak openly about the insecurity of creativity. Jimmy calls it chasing a mirage: the fear that the magic might disappear, the humility of knowing you never fully control it. Tom, in contrast, describes creativity as an act of fai- th, a way of staying present in each fleeting moment. That paradox,


success without finality and achieve- ment without “enough,” is what fuels the hunger behind Bob Moses.


In BLINK, that hunger finds a new voice. The record feels freer and more confident than their past work, dissol- ving the old line between club tracks and songs. Collaborations with Michel Zitron, John Martin, and Shaun Frank opened new spaces without diluting the core of who they are. The result is music that can break your heart through headphones but also come ali- ve on the dancefloor. It is an album that captures time in fragments: a Dropbox file here, a late-night session there, stitched together into something that feels whole and timeless.


What makes Bob Moses remarkable is how human they remain. They can speak about big stages and childhood pancakes in the same breath, about insecurity and gratitude with equal weight. And maybe that is why BLINK resonates so strongly. It is a reminder that music is not about holding onto forever, but about living fully in the moment while it is here. For anyone listening, especially those in vulnerable moments, songs like Last Forever arrive not as entertainment but as companions, fragile and powerful, reminding us that beauty often lies in what cannot stay.
