Ep 87: Isabella Morano Nominates Moses Sumney’s “græ”

You know how we love our multi-hyphenate friends over here at TOGT11! And this week the hyphens are flyin’ yet again as we welcome winemaker-actor-producer and all-around bonne vivante Isabella Morano to the This One Goes to 11 living room. And what’s that she brought with her? Oh my word, it’s “græ” by the one and only Moses Sumney.  “græ” is a wide-ranging, kaleidoscopic musical journey that draws deeply from the well of humanity that is Moses Sumney. While it can be a challenge to wrap your arms (ears?) around at first, Isabella insists strongly that this undefinability is what makes “græ” so damn special. She recounts her first experience encountering the album in the wine storage room of an old place of employment and how that serendipitous meeting has led to an ever-evolving and deepening relationship with this music and the artist behind it. In much the same way that Isabella fiercely defends her right to continuously evolve as a creative being, Sumney’s work here challenges the listener to embrace their own inherent multiplicity and celebrate it too. Can I get a hell yeah? Oh helllll yeah. So the album rocks, huh? But will Isabella’s case have what it takes to carve out a place in the TOGT11 pantheon for “græ”? Pop the cork on this sucker and find out. And if you’ve got a taste for wine, you simply must get your hands on some of the excellent stuff Isabella is making. You can find her on Instagram at @isa.wines or on her website at drinkisawines.com. And go support the freakin movie she made! They’re at @teafortwofilm on Instagram as well.
