Back in high school, Jake Aron combined his love of various musical styles, pop and experimental, to create music under the name of “Moloq.” Since then, he and fellow band mate, Paul Stevens have released three Moloq LPs.

They also created a music video in homage to Terry Gross, the host of “Fresh Air.” Stevens had been a Fresh Air listener since he was a kid riding around in his mother’s car listening to WABE.

His admiration for Gross’ interviewing skills inspired the creation of the song. “She’s brilliant, she’s the greatest interviewer that I’ve ever heard, she’s thoughtful, empathetic. This is a love song of sorts to Terry Gross,” Stevens said.
