Viking Moses, otherwise known as Brendon Massei, is a nomad of sorts. He's a high-school dropout who's been perpetually on the road since 1996, with much of that time spent with his acoustic guitar, touring with or supporting artists such as Little Wings, Ted Leo, Will Oldham, Cat Power, the Microphones, and Devendra Banhart (on whose compilation Golden Apples of the Sun the song "Crosses" first appeared). He has records under the names Supperbell Roundup, Brendon Massei, and most recently Viking Moses. Crosses is his second release with Marriage Records, actually a two-disc co-release with piano player and labelmate Spencer Kingman. ~ Marisa Brown
