GILLIGAN MOSS RELEASES ‘ULTRAPARADISO’ ON FOREIGN FAMILY COLLECTIVE – [LISTEN]

Out now rightfully on Odesza’s Foreign Family Collective label is a fresh new single “Ultraparadíso” by Gilligan Moss. The track captures a carefree, summer vibe that without a doubt matches its title.

Mellow guitar strumming and careful percussion create a warm and inviting soundscape. In an unexpected yet pleasant fashion, the song flowers into a hypnotic myriad of melodies. “Ultraparadíso” is an ode to sensory harmony and worldly bliss on every level.

Gilligan Moss comments on the track, “We wrote this song as a postcard from a daydream. It is a song in transition caught between club-land & psychedelia, dreamspace and being awake. Our favorite music is transportive, and we just wanted to bring people from quarantine to not only a paradise, but an ultraparadise.”

Brooklyn-dwelling Gilligan Moss are no strangers to transportive music. They have released official remixes for Glass Animals and Sebastian Tellier, in addition to touring with Glass Animals, Toro y Moi, and Tourist.  They have also made performances at major festivals such as Coachella, Pitchfork Paris, and Electric Forest.

The two actually met at age three in a Chicago preschool. After attending summer camp together and fostering an undeniable friendship, they began to make music as a pair in 2015. They’ve release two EPs, Ceremonial (2015) and What Happened (2018) while continuing to release music in quarantine.

I’ve been a part of the dance music scene for nearly a decade and with Exron for more than half of that time. My first event was Diplo’s Mad Decent but these days you’ll find me at Club Space or the Brooklyn Mirage. Some of my top artists are G Jones, Tipper, Of The Trees, and CharlestheFirst. My favorite genres are techno, experimental bass, and ambient but I’ll get down to anything with a beat!
