Since reconnecting in 2015 they’ve written some songs, made some remixes and released their debut self titled album on Foreign Family Collective. Their first musical collaboration was a spectacular performance at a summer camp in the northern woods of Wisconsin which has been widely bootlegged and shared amongst collectors though has yet to see an official release. Friends since meeting at Park West Preschool in Chicago at age three. The lyrics were written while eating a large Cafe Panna ice cream sundae.” says Gilligan Moss about the track. It’s a tune about how we locate ourselves through the trends of our time, and the inevitability of the clock moving forward. It was a very natural feeling collaboration and unlike many of our other songs, most of the parts came quickly then all at once. “NBF came about on a writing trip with our friend Ben (Holiday87, The Knocks). At once wistful and nostalgic and absolutely, positively, joyful ‘New Best Friend’ channels The Avalanches, late ’60’s AM Pop Radio and Tame Impala in equal measure for something truly unique. Featuring an undeniably catchy bass line (courtesy of The Knocks’ JPatt), and a seemingly endless mirage of instruments, voices and samples that come in and out of focus throughout the track ‘New Best Friend’ will stay on your mind like a hazy memory from a beautiful day. Opening with mournful yet triumphant strings and flute, the track blossoms into a psychedelic rollercoaster ride of a pop song. A perfect soundtrack to the first few days of Spring where the flowers start to shake off winter, this one sounds almost as joyful as the first time riding a bike with no hands or cashing your first paycheck from a summer job.
Gilligan Moss return with another joyous track-this time in collaboration with their friend Holiday87. Brooklyn-based duo Gilligan Moss join forces with The Knocks’ Ben Ruttner aka Holiday87 for a euphoric ode to friendships just in time for the first few days of Spring via Foreign Family Collective.
