Biography
Mozes and the Firstborn released their first EP called I Got Skills in 2011, which was recorded in Dielesen’s home studio. The identically titled single on this EP was well received by the audience and so the band signed a contract with record label Top Notch in 2013. That same year the band released their self-titled debut album Mozes and the Firstborn, produced by Michel Schoots of Urban Dance Squad. The success of the album resulted in an American record deal with indie label Burger Records. Burger Records released the album a year later in the United States.

The band was also proclaimed as 3FM Serious Talent In 2013. They did a two-year tour through Europe and the United States with The Growlers, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and together PANGEA and they played at festivals like South by Southwest Festival, Best Kept Secret Festival and Lowlands.

In 2014 Mozes and the Firstborn was nominated for an Edison in the category Rock.

In 2015 the band released their second EP Power Ranger. Ever since, drummer Raven Aartsen produces every song of the band.

In 2016 they released a softer and more melancholic second album Great Pile of Nothing. This 90’s highschoolrock album resulted in a tour in The Netherlands and Europe and The Netherlands tour with together PANGEA.

In 2017 Mozes and the Firstborn released their third EP Marianne, followed by the Cassette Club EP a year later. This EP was released as a preparation of the Mozes Cassette Club. This is a ‘club’ for a limited number of members who get premium access on new tracks, demo’s and stories in the shape of a cassette

In 2018 they released four singles called Baldly, Sad Supermarket Song, Hello and If I for their upcoming album. These singles were all also released on cassette for the Cassette Club. The new album Dadcore was recorded in collaboration with Chris Coady (Beach House, Slowdive) and Roland Cosio (togheter PANGEA, Fuzz) and it will be a mix of the bands own favourite bands and genres with a mixtape feeling to it.
