Moses Sumney has announced a brand new three-song EP to be released next week. Titled Black in Deep Red, 2014, the EP’s name was inspired by a 1957 Mark Rothko painting of the same name. The lead single off the EP, “Rank & File” has been shared. Sumney said this about the EP: "Black in Deep Red, 2014 was ignited by the first and last time I attended a protest. It was in the fall of 2014, after a grand jury decided not to charge the offending officer in the Mike Brown murder, delivering the verdict just in time for them to get home for Thanksgiving. I felt like a camouflaged outsider at the protest, like an anthropologist performing a study amongst his own kind. I took to the mountains soon after that and wrote these songs, wondering if power was a transferable device that could change hands through the vocalizing of unrest.” Last September, Sumney released his debut full-length, Aromanticism. Catch Sumney at Bumbershoot on Friday, August 31. Below, listen to “Rank & File” and watch Moses Sumney’s KEXP in-studio session from last year.
