Elanor Moss @ BALLARD HOMESTEAD

Elanor Moss: elanormoss.com

London-based songwriter Elanor Moss will be releasing her new full length, ’The Knife, The Needle’, on Merge Records in August 2026. The release follows 2025 tours with Foxwarren, Flyte, and Ye Vagabonds, and was met with support across the UK, with BBC6 Music naming her “One To Watch 2026”.
Elanor Moss grew up in a very creative, devoutly Catholic family, and began playing music at church events. Homeschooled through early youth, her parents put a real emphasis on nature and reading and music. Eventually leaving the faith, Moss started writing songs of her own in York as a student of English literature and playing open mics around the city. While at University she also discovered songwriting greats: Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, The Beatles. Shortly after graduation, Moss met producer Oli Deakin, who offered to record her first EP, “Citrus.” Her work with Deakin took her to New York City, where she began forging a sense of community. Between “Citrus” and her second EP, “Cosmic,” Moss toured with Christian Lee Hutson, Benjamin Francis Leftwich and LYR, played one-off shows with Cassandra Jenkins, CMAT, and Sam Amidon, and performed at Pitchfork London, Green Man Festival, and Mosely Folk, among others.
