New York-Based Indie/Electronic Artist & Producer Elliot Moss Teams Up With Chilean Artist Rubio for “Lazy (12:00 Version)” Remix

Today, New York-based singer, songwriter, and producer Elliot Moss teams up with award-winning Chilean avant-pop artist Rubio to share an imaginative reworking of “Lazy,” from his February 2024 album How I Fell. Both artists are known for their ghostly vocal cadence, and together they deliver an intoxicating blend on this moody synth-pop epic. Listen to “Lazy” (12:00 Remix) on all digital retailers (here).

“The lyrics are listing the ways I distract myself from the reasons for my uncertainties or failures—which can be uncomfortable to admit, so it made sense for the instrumentation to take on that same uneasiness.”

ABOUT ELLIOT MOSS: 

An inveterate musician raised in the recording studio; Elliot Moss has devoted much of his life to dreaming up sonic worlds with a strangely transportive power. After finding breakout success with his viral hit single “Slip” at age 18, the New York City-bred singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist brought his unfettered imagination and refined musicality to his 2015 debut Highspeeds and its follow-up A Change In Diet (a 2020 LP praised by Pitchfork as “sharp and deftly evocative”).

When it came time for his third album, How I Fell, Moss matched his limitless ingenuity with a newly heightened commitment to exacting emotional truth—a dynamic that soon led to his most fully realized offering yet, a nuanced meditation on how personal limitations both burden and define us. Rooted in his belief that “peace comes from feeling things sharply,” the result is a luminous body of work that invites both intense introspection and transformative catharsis.

With the help and insight from fellow producer Damian Taylor (Björk, Arcade Fire, Japandroids), Moss shaped the album’s boldly original form of alt-pop by working with a vast palette of instrumentation and electronic elements, embracing a decidedly more guitar-centric sound than his past work. “Guitar was my first instrument and I was obsessed with it as a kid, so it felt right to write songs with actual riffs for once,” says Moss, who got his start playing bass in studio sessions helmed by his father, a veteran studio engineer who now joins Moss on the road as his live sound mixer.”

ABOUT RUBIO:

Praised by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and Billboard for her alchemical blend of dark avant-pop, Rubio is the award-winning creation of Chilean artist, songwriter, and producer Fran Straube. 

On critically acclaimed albums like 2018’s Pez, 2020’s Mango Negro, and 2023’s Venus & Blue, Fran shapes her textural pop sound by fusing elements of EDM, trip-hop, and Andean roots music, as well as contemporary flavors of reggaeton, dembow, and trap. Despite the ghostly, trembling cadence of her voice, accompanied by torrential bass lines, Fran’s intimate lyricism shines clearly through her digitized melodies, like a hand extended to connect. Her deeply evocative songs are as vulnerable as they are disruptive to the frenetic, consumerist spirit of the music industry. 
Fran displays his enormous star power in dynamic live performances, where she performs as lead vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, and percussionist. Rubio has obtained coveted spots at festivals such as Lollapalooza, Primavera Sound, The Great Escape, Ceremonia and others. Rubio was also responsible for the soundtrack of the 2022 film, La Caída, which won two international Emmy Awards. That same year, he received the prestigious Mexican Diosa de Plata award for best song for La Caída’s song, “Más de Ahogarme.”
