Beccs – Stay Moist
Today, indie pop singer/songwriter beccs has released her highly anticipated EP, stay moist co-produced by beccs, Godfrey Furchtgott and Jack Mullin, featuring a range of collaborators including Oscar Nominated Ian Chang of Son Lux and long standing queer pop icon, Bitch.
Through beccs’ unique flair for humor, vulnerability and whimsy, each track on stay moist reflects and confronts difficult and shameful parts of oneself. By allowing pain and trauma to move through us like water instead of getting lodged inside, we can all ‘stay moist’ as a way to remain honest, authentic and glistening through our healing.
stay moist is a bold, edgy, colorful indie pop record filled with maximalist pop production, show-stopping vocals and some serious earworms. Serving as a bridge across eras, EP stay moist features songs written as far back as 2018, revisited and recorded as a symbol of the artist’s personal and sonic growth. beccs had coined the term stay moist during the pandemic when she would find herself crying as a form of release. To bring levity and a sense of connection to these episodes, she would take a snotty selfie and post it to her Instagram grid with the caption “stay moist”. What started as a coping mechanism in isolation soon turned into a motto of resilience, motivation, growth, and of course – whimsy.
The artist shares, “To stay moist is to let life’s pains, events, traumas move through us like water instead of getting lodged in our bodies. Each song is a side road into a difficult, shameful part of one self, that once embraced, leads us back to our whole self. With whimsy, humor and love, I hope these songs help you stay moist.”
