Sam Moss returns with Swimming, a quietly captivating full-length released in 2025 on Nine Athens Music. Recorded at Betty's in Chapel Hill, NC in Fall 2022, the album blends folk, rock, and deeply rooted Americana into something altogether distinctive. Critics have taken notice, with Spin highlighting the record among the best albums of 2025 so far, praising Moss's "graceful guitar playing, quietly intense vocals, and observant songwriting."
Across ten tracks, Swimming showcases Moss's rare ability to craft songs that feel understated at first but reveal greater depth with every listen. The album moves fluidly between low-key full-band shuffles, wide-open cinematic moments, and intimate folk arrangements, creating a cohesive yet varied listening experience. As Aquarium Drunkard put it, "each song breathes marvelously," making this an album meant to be savored and returned to again and again.
