Keith Moss
A recent addition to the Reekus roster, Keith Moss has been garnering plaudits for his music since being awarded the accolade ‘Young Songwriter of the Year’ by IMRO on his debut. Starting out as a solo performer, Keith has gone on to play with a number of bands through the years, on guitar,bass, and backing vocals, performing in a wide variety of venues at home in Ireland and in the UK. His solo performancies have seen him share the bill with the likes of Brianna Corrigan of The Beautiful South, tour with Rodrigo & Gabriella, and play both Wheatfield and Mountjoy prisons. He releases his debut single on Reekus, ‘The War Outside Our Door’ on March 16th; it will be available from iTunes and all leading digital sites, while physical copies with two bonus tracks, ‘Burn Away Inside’ and ‘The Memory Store’ will be available from the Reekus webstore, and gigs.
You Love Silent Films
WHAT THE PAPERS (and Jinx Lennon) SAY:
“This mesmerizing newcomer is receiving some serious critical acclaim…Keith Moss has the power to inspire a lot of opinions with his recent release. So what is it about this young Irishman that has everyone’s knickers in a knot? Well, he’s a force of nature, with a penchant for wordplay and looks that rival John Mayer’s pouty visage…It’s no wonder that people are developing a fascination with Moss and his music.
Each track oozes a different emotion…“You Love Silent Films” is totally strange, yet still beautiful.” - In Your Speakers (US music website, 2011)

“A work of rare beauty, a timeless classic. Positively drips with passion and emotion .... sounds like Syd Barrett without the drug induced psychosis.

“The young Irishman seems to have a strange effect on UK critics, as I can’t recall ever seeing an artist receive so many seemingly disparate comparisons…Let me throw in Freedy Johnston and Ron Sexsmith.
The video for You Love Silent Films, is certainly worth sharing.” - MOKB/My Old Kentucky Blog (US music website, 2011)
“Honest, original and individual, the spirit of ‘76 lives and breathes through this little-known genius…A jammy dodger of Richard Hell, Neil Hannon and Lester Bangs all rolled into one scrumptious mouthful” - Hot Press
“Akin to a one-man acoustic Beatles” - The Ticket (The Irish Times)
“The epicentre of all things eccentric. An utterly-mesmerising amalgam of Nick Drake and a stoned ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic. The songs host a sublime pop sensibility…8/10” - Hot Press
“A curious mixture of Bernard Butler and Loudon Wainwright III…An instinctive performer…Someone to keep a judicious eye out for” - Tony Clayton-Lea, The Irish Times
“Not since Pink Floyd unleashed their ‘Ummagumma’ album has their been more surreal or lengthy song titles than on the first two releases by singer/songwriter Keith Moss…An instinctive showmanship and genuine musical talent that has been earning serious kudos…A veritable well of creativity” - Inside Entertainment (Cork)
“Funny and heartbreaking, angry and uplifting. The legacy of John Otway and Wreckless Eric lives on in this huge young talent” - Time Out (London)
“This is either complete genius or utter bunkum…Influences prove difficult to pin - a touch of acoustic REM, Smashing Pumpkins, Billy McKenzie, perhaps even Nick Drake…Fantastically odd” - Blank (Northern Ireland music magazine)
“One thing that you can say with certainty is that Moss is unique” - Edel Coffey, Sunday Tribune
“A man who has taken lo-fi to new levels by releasing a couple of albums which sound like drunken Beach Boys recorded in Beck’s jacks” -The Slate
“The indie kid that Patti Smith and Syd Barrett could have had together” - Connected
“An unlikely melange of Nick Drake and Monty Python” - The Ticket/The Irish Times
“The Dublin punk poet and rebel singer-songwriter Keith Moss who was once escorted from the building of NewsTalk for singing an ‘unsuitable’ song live on-air…” - Martin Burns, News of the World
“An original in a sea of shite” - Jinx Lennon
