LomoAmigo Moss Shoots with the La Sardina DIY

Lomography and FILTER Magazine teamed up to present a special collaboration! We provided several artists from the Culture Collide festival in Los Angeles some Lomography cameras and here is our ninth LomoAmigo from our Culture Collide LomoAmigo series!

Amsterdam based indie-outfit Moss quickly gained a widespread reputation of being one of the finest Dutch exports since they released their last album, Never Be Scared/Don’t Be A Hero. With Ornaments, the band has created a timeless and forward album. It was recorded on a tiny island in the North of Holland. Ornaments carries the sound of a cosmopolitan band, stuck on an island, truly devoted to crating timeless and unique music. Live audiences in Europe have seen the bands live shows grow bigger and the band deliver not just a standard rock show. With blazing lights, live images and animation movies they play strictly coordinated and playful live shows, always experimenting.
