Originally hailing from Massachusetts and now based in New York City, Jason Myles Goss has cultivated his musical journey from the roots of a small mill town called Hopedale. With a childhood spent playing at a bar adjacent to an airport landing strip, Goss ventured on a journey that would define his unique musical output with storytelling at the heart of his sound.
His path to recognition has been built on his grassroots approach, earning a devoted following for his independent ethos and authentic songwriting. His music has taken him across the USA, predominantly focused on the East Coast, sharing stages with artists such as Shovels & Rope, Anaïs Mitchell, Watchhouse, Lori McKenna and Peter Bradley Adams.
For almost two decades he’s been crafting his musical vision in the studio, first captured on his debut record Another Ghost in 2005. Followed up by a further three full-length albums, last year he co-produced his EP Misfit with engineer and multi-instrumentalist Joel Arnow at his studio in New York.
Over the years his music has racked up millions of streams, with hits like “Hospital Shirt” amassing 9 million plays and even being covered in Norwegian. Now he brings us the lead single lifted from the “Misfit” EP with “Younger Man,” the perfect display of his bluesy pop sound.
Opened by the gritty tone of electric guitar, the smokey veil lifts to reveal a smooth blend of pattering congas, skanked guitar chords and soulful lead vocals. The return of the fuzzy guitar rattle ushers in the chorus where memorable vocal melodies are lifted by the swell of instrumentation.
Driven by a rhythm section that channels the grooves of 70s Bill Withers, the Hammond organ adds sonic nostalgia and magnifies the confessional nature of the lyrics. Now releasing the brand new music video directed by Ryan Stumpe, the visuals feature Jason Myles Goss mixing ingredients and baking a cake in a kitchen, cut with projected scenes and overlaid shots of retro footage to provide an intriguing and cinematic pairing for the song.
