PINK MOSS LET THE GROOVE GET MESSY

LOVE BLUNT finds Mumbai’s Pink Moss stretching alternative R&B, neo-soul, funk and Afro-pop built around groove-heavy rhythms and bilingual lyrics into a looser and adventurous full-length.

LOVE BLUNT, released June 20, 2026, reveals a playful refusal to stay in one emotional register. “Cool Guy” and “Krakatoa” sit alongside catalog staples such as “Where Are You Now,” “Delta,” “Josibel,” “Saved Me” and “Leaky Boy,” giving the project a noticeably conversational and character-driven personality.

For me, LOVE BLUNT feels like the point where rhythm, soul can coexist in a distinctly contemporary setting retaining the personality of a band playing with its own possibilities.
