June 13, 2025 BY Emma Orland
Today, New York-based singer, songwriter, and producer Elliot Moss shares “Float,” a new song from his recently announced album Highspeeds (Expanded – 10th Anniversary), due August 8th via Nettwerk. Initially unfinished and left off the Highspeeds album, the sparse and moody synth track finally sees the light of day. With soulful melodies and a building chorus, “Float” proves to be a true hidden gem. Listen to “Float” HERE and pre-order Highspeeds (Expanded – 10th Anniversary), HERE.
“‘Float’ was originally part of the Highspeeds tracklist, but at the very last minute, it was replaced with ‘Best Light,’ Elliot explains. “Over the years, it kept popping up in my head, and as the album approached its 10th anniversary, I found myself getting excited about it again. It’s one I’d always hoped to finish!”
Elliot is also excited to announce new headline tour dates this Fall, where he will perform Highspeeds in full, and he invites fans to join him in celebrating his seminal record. The dates kick off on September 21st in Mexico City at Foro Indie Rocks, followed by Los Angeles on September 24th at Zeublon, and New York City at National Sawdust on October 1st.

ABOUT ELLIOT MOSS:
Elliot Moss, an inveterate musician raised in the recording studio, has devoted much of his life to dreaming up sonic worlds with a strangely transportive power. With the 10th anniversary release of Highspeeds, he reflects on the record’s impact on his career. His soulful vocals and embrace of electronic, jazz, and ambient sounds have resonated with fans, establishing Elliot as one of the most innovative indie-electronic artists of the past decade.
Highspeeds helped propel Elliot to stardom as a critical darling, winning media praise from Billboard, Stereogum, The FADER, SPIN, and more. He’s toured and performed around the world alongside artists like Cold War Kids, Chicano Batman, Oh Wonder, Editors, and others, appearing at notable festivals like SXSW, Corona Capitol, Reeperbahn, and more.
Since his first viral success at eighteen with “Slip,” Elliot’s music has amassed over 350M streams worldwide. When famed American dancer Phillip Chbeeb used “Slip” in his captivating, choreographed dance, it cemented Elliot as a go-to artist for the dance community. His music continues to have a lasting impact on the dance world to this day.
The success of Highspeeds not only carved Elliot’s path over the next decade as a renowned artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, but it also became a cornerstone of the experimental indie-electronic movement that shaped the sound of the 2010s alongside artists like Bon Iver, Chet Faker, James Blake, and more.
