Song Spotlight: Mossybot's HYTI (a night at The Airliner)

The three piece band Mossybot has a dual personality. How so? Guitar and drum duties were shared between two of the band members with the one playing guitar stepped into the lead vocals role. It led to two distinct sounds during the thirty minute set at The Airliner Bar (a Rocknite showcase night). The first half of the set was driven by raw vocals that swayed the band in the alternative rock direction. The band had a machine like efficiency during that half, softened with a touch of the ambient. Then the switched between the drummer and guitarist occurred. The music went much heavier, fueled by aggression. Screaming vocals were a necessity.

No matter the version of the band, they highlighted their instrumental composition skills. To end the set, they went on a metal-psychedelic instrumental riff that would make L.A. Witch proud. The Rocknite crowd definitely appreciated the 3 minute ending to the set as a mosh pit broke out.

Comment of the set: "Bring it all in. We're all friends here." 

The band played their first show in early 2025 so they're a relatively new band. On this night, they were mainly testing out new material. The song spotlight goes to "HYTI" that was released as part of their four song debut EP Fissure. (I'm just making a guess that HYTI is short-hand for "How you take it.") The song was part of the first half of the set so it had those raw vocals with a double dose ambient sounds that created a brooding atmosphere. The song has a hint of Depeche Mode that cuts open wide  the emotional scars of a breakup.
