The coming day of reckoning in Brooklyn will feature an amazing way to end your time on this planet. If May 21 brings the apocalypse, it's hard to think of a better way to celebrate it than partying with Dan Deacon and Janka Nabay.

Moss of Aura is the solo project of J. Gerrit Welmers, one-third of the Baltimore mood slingers Future Islands. Welmers is the man behind the synths, and it's pretty easy to categorize MoA as the singular incarnation of what he does for Future Islands.

Someone needs to tell him the end is nigh, maybe he should start researching all of those post-apocalyptic 80s movies.
