About Shapes (2020)
“It’s subtle and subdued—but once it fades away, you’ll want to hear it again and again. Shapes is full of those kinds of moments, unfolding in real time, sending the listener drifting into the slipstream.” - Tyler Wilcox, Aquarium Drunkard
“Quiet but resonant, like a tuning fork you can barely hear, but that vibrates with all the sounds around you.” - Jennifer Kelly, Dusted
About Rob Noyes & Sam Moss (2018)
“Moss I’ve heard play guitar previously, but he’s on violin here, holding a fine balance between an avant approach and something much more ruralist. His approach pushes Noyes into a similar binary stance, and the results possess a unique magic.” - The Wire
“When they enter the kind of comfort and calm that can be found between the symbiosis of two players in thrall with the push-pull of harmonic air between them, the album becomes a solemn, serene set that feels communal in the best of ways.” - Raven Sings The Blues
“Dusty trails, deep forests, untold thickets—Noyes and Moss sound absolutely perfect together wherever they go.” - Tyler Wilcox, Aquarium Drunkard
About Neon (2018)
"Marvelous, resonating, magnetic stillness." - Stuart Munro, The Boston Globe
"Delicately detailed...intricate and endearing" - Tom Johnson, GoldFlakePaint
"Rich and affecting songs that skirt the edges of folk, rock and country... careful and composed and understatedly poetic." - Liam Doyle, Various Small Flames
"A single, slowly burning star gently sending sparks into the tall gap of space above it." - Small Albums
About Fable (2016)
"Few fingerstyle guitarists have made the transition to singer-songwriter mode as gracefully as Sam Moss." - Lars Gotrich, NPR
"An easy-flowing, so-wonderful-to-listen-to collection of unweighted folk-rock." - Fred Knittel, WXPN
"The main thing, though, is Moss himself, with his sunny cascades of folk picking, his lonesome whistle of a voice; he sounds like he’s singing in a minor key even when he isn’t." - Jennifer Kelly, Dusted
General
“This fingerpicking guitar virtuoso characterizes the folk spirit in its finest sense.” - Chris Leo Palermino, Paste
“A rarity in the instrumental fingerpicking guitar scene, as his graceful, lilting singing seems just as natural and easy as his accomplished six-string work." - Grayson Haver Currin, IndyWeek
You could do a whole lot worse than spend an entire day (or week or month) on his Bandcamp page.” - Sam Hockley-Smith, FADER
