Elliot Moss shares new song “Bad Neighbors” from new album ‘Highspeeds – 10th Anniversary Expanded’
July 25, 2025 BY Emma Orland
Today, New York-based singer, songwriter, and producer Elliot Moss shares “Bad Neighbors,” a previously unreleased song that will appear on his recently announced album Highspeeds (Expanded – 10th Anniversary), due August 8th via Nettwerk. Like his recent release “Float,” “Bad Neighbors” was left on the cutting room floor while recording Highspeeds. Listen to “Bad Neighbors” HERE and pre-order Highspeeds (Expanded – 10th Anniversary), HERE.
“Bad Neighbors was written around the same time as ‘VCR Machine,’ but was only ever halfway finished.” Elliot reflects. “Most of the vocals were there, and the track was nearly complete, but other songs kept taking its place. It was copied from one computer to the next over the years, always hanging around. It felt like it had been waiting for the right context—and it finally made it back onto the record where it belonged.”
Elliot is also excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Highspeeds live on tour this fall, where he will perform the album in full. He invites fans to join him in revisiting his seminal record. The shows kick off on September 21st in Mexico City at Foro Indie Rocks, followed by Los Angeles on September 24th at Zebulon, and New York City on October 1st at National Sawdust.

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.
