Bob Moses to Release Fourth Studio Album This Fall: ‘The Album's Like a Question'
Coming out via AWAL, Blink follows 2022's The Silence in Between. The new project was recorded between Los Angeles, where the duo's Tom Howie lives, and New York City, where the group's other half, Jimmy Vallance, resides. The pair initially passed ideas and demos back and forth through Dropbox and Discord, and then met up in cities including Toronto and Vancouver, B.C., to expand on the music in the studio.

'The album's like a question: How do you reconcile the desire to have a meaningful life with the realization that it's gone in an instant, that you can't hold on to things for too long?' Howie says in a statement on the new album's thematic focus. 'It wasn't a conscious choice, but the way we made this record fits that idea, and maybe that's why we've touched on it: It's a phase in our lives where we're doing everything in moments.'
Ahead of the new album's release, the pair will play a flurry of dates including XS in Las Vegas, the North Carolina edition of Breakaway festival and Portola in San Francisco in September.
The pair's debut album, 2015's Days Gone By, spent 11 weeks on Top Dance/Electronic albums, with its 2018 followup Battle Lines spending a week on the chart. 'Love Brand New' from The Silence In Between, spent 12 weeks on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, peaking at No. 29.

Taylor Swift teases 'male sports fans' in podcast appearance
Taylor Swift is set to appear on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast for the first time, and in a clip released before the episode dropped, she was already teasing "male sports fans." The announcement was made earlier in the week, and Swift would reveal in one of the previews for "New Heights" that she will have a new album coming out soon. It also seemed as though she'd have plenty to say. "As we all know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast," she began. "And I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens … it's more of me." Travis and Jason Kelce both laughed at Swift's quip. Swift began to show up to Kansas City Chiefs games in late September when it was first rumored the two were dating. Since then, Swift has not only dominated the conversation in the pop culture world, but in the sports world as well. For better or worse. She did receive her share of criticism for being the focal point of NFL broadcasts throughout the first season she was at Arrowhead Stadium. The spotlight tapered off ever so slightly in 2024. In an interview with Time magazine in 2023, she said she had "no awareness" of the possibility of making male sports fans a bit perturbed by her appearances on their TVs. "I'm just there to support Travis," she said at the time. "I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads." Swift is likely to be back in the stadium this year to see whether Kansas City can get back to the Super Bowl for the fourth straight time.

These Female Designers Are Creating the Clothes Women Actually Want
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. One of Maria McManus's customers—a 'fabulous L.A. woman,' as the Irish-bred, New York-based designer describes her—recently confided to her that she has two dry cleaners: one whom she entrusts with her Maria McManus clothes, and one for the rest of her wardrobe. 'I'm sure she owns incredible brands,' McManus says. 'So I was deeply honored that I was part of the chosen few.' That kind of loyalty can't be bought, no matter how many marketing dollars you throw at it. McManus is one of a handful of designers who might not have their names on billboards, but who have painstakingly built a following, becoming a hit with discerning shoppers who prefer realism to runway theatrics. Many of these brands are led, or co-led, by women: Elin Kling of Toteme, Camille Perry and Holly Wright of Tove, Marieke Meulendijks of Róhe, and Frances Howie of Fforme, for example. They lean minimalist, but with enough design innovation to create desirable friction. And they're modular in nature: Rather than overhauling their aesthetic every season, they keep gradual wardrobe-building in mind, offering new pieces that complement their existing staples. For Howie, what she sees on the catwalk doesn't always reflect the reality of contemporary women's lives. 'If you think about how much change has happened in the last 80 years, the way that women work and juggle a million things, I think we demand something more from our wardrobes,' she says. Howie took over at the brand last July and debuted with a fall 2025 collection that actually achieved the editorial trope of 'going from day to night.' For pre-spring 2026, she introduced looks like a white two-piece set in frayed silk. 'You could pick up your child from school and look rather fabulous, or you could go to a wedding' in it, she says. Another multitasking hero piece, a red trench with a pleated back detail, goes through a Cinderella-style transformation if you remove its bolero, turning it into a sleeveless dress. Howie remains mindful not just of what her designs look like, but what they feel like, something Alber Elbaz inculcated in her when she worked for him at Lanvin. She recalls that Elbaz held model fittings in front of a wall of mirrors to see how a dress would look and move in real life. 'He didn't really fit the dress. He fitted her in the dress. There's a difference.' Now her team prioritizes comfort: 'I don't want to look amazing, and actually be suffering. That's not luxurious to me.' As Net-a-Porter's fashion director, Kay Barron applies her discerning eye to thousands of new offerings. Like Howie, she has noticed a disconnect when it comes to some collections. 'I see their runway shows and the vision that they've created, and I do think, 'God, I'd love to have that life. How fabulous does that look?'' she admits. But when it comes to lines like Toteme, Fforme, Tove, Maria McManus, and St. Agni, all of which the e-retailer has seen great success with, she appreciates that they're rooted in something more solid. 'Not the fantasy lives we want to have, but the reality, whether that's work and motherhood and everything else that's going on in someone's life. You still want to look and feel your best.' She also appreciates that they're not 'outrageously expensive' relative to the rest of the luxury market. For Lara Fells, who designs St. Agni with a small team, her own day-to-day life in the Australian beachside hamlet of Byron Bay helps inform her work. When she cofounded the brand with her husband over a decade ago, 'everything was very overembellished. It was the height of the boho era.' Fells had a counterproposal: pared-back, often neutral-hued staple pieces like structured blazers and trousers, things that you could wear to the office and to sip a cocktail afterward. Fells refreshingly admits to being inspired by her own taste. 'I feel like it takes a really talented designer to design something that she doesn't want to wear,' she says. 'I can't do that. That's an extra-special skill.' For many of these designers, much of their success comes down to the throwback power of word of mouth. In the first five years of her business, Fells says, 'we did no paid marketing at all. Didn't spend a dollar on ads, nothing,' instead preferring to build a following organically. Another old-school method has come in handy for McManus, who doesn't have a brick-and-mortar store: 'We do a lot of private shopping events at people's homes. Customers will reach out to us and be like, 'My girlfriends love your stuff. Can we do an event?'' Tapping into that inner circle has opened them up to an often-overlooked client, the woman who loves fashion and wants to invest in it, but doesn't care to follow the herd. As Howie puts it: 'My girlfriends who are intelligent, well-read, cultured, love art—they want to feel sexy. They want to feel sensual. They want to feel that in a powerful way.'
