Austin-based musician and video artist tawnylawns has a knack for transforming the offbeat into the unforgettable. Known for her electronic soundscapes and meticulous visual creations, she blends music and art into something that feels both intimate and playfully strange. Whether she’s hand-crafting stop-motion animations or obsessing over the perfect prop for a video, her artistic world is one where precision meets whimsy.
Her newest single, “Moss,” captures that same balance in sound. It’s a wry, pop-infused ode to the rare people who somehow manage to see the best in us—even when we can’t. The track feels like a knowing smile set to synths, catchy yet bittersweet, full of warmth and mischief. It celebrates the kind of human connection that doesn’t shy away from imperfection, instead embracing it as part of what makes us beautiful. “Moss” is self-acceptance in melody form—a reminder that being seen, flaws and all, can be both healing and hilarious.
Set against the backdrop of her newly released album Overheard At Nickel City, out now via FOIL Imprints, “Moss” offers a vivid glimpse into the world tawnylawns has crafted—one inspired by real snippets of conversation overheard in Austin bars. Just as her visual art thrives on texture and detail, her music revels in the odd poetry of everyday life. With her creative fingerprints on every sound and image, tawnylawns transforms fleeting moments and imperfect humans into something tangible, relatable, and irresistibly unique.
