Posted on by JL

7 August 2020

Artist: John MOuse
Who:  A left of centre artist from Cardiff.  Multifaceted wordsmith with
no-nonsense attitude making no-nonsense music for no-nonsense people.

Album: The Goat – fifth longplayer
Released: 31 July 2020

Info: “When lockdown commenced John MOuse seized the opportunity to create a new
album. Social distancing meant that the music for the album was created Lincolnshire by
long term collaborator Phil Pearce and then sent to John in Cardiff who worked on the lyrics and vocal melody for each track. The result is a typically idiosyncratic and heart on its sleeve, electronic pop album, heavy on spoken word content and catchy chorus hooks, these songs possess musical hints of everyone from Adian Moffat, Momus to early Pulp.”

Key phrase: “A Welsh Superstar and an impassioned performer.”  – Tom Robinson

Keywords: Mike Skinner / Baxter Dury / Ennio Morricone / Mental song titles, mental stories / Tubeway Army / From punchy electro-pop to top trip-hop / From Soft Cell to Sleaford Mods / From here to everywhere & nowhere / Gilbert O’Sullivan, Ray Reardon,
Peter Doherty and James Bond / Alt-disco for a future-inferno / Lockdown blues

Key tracks: All

Check-in and work out…

SEVEN IN THE MIX! 7 Crackers For Week 17…

Posted on by JL

A brand new SEVEN IN THE MIX for a brand new week!
Seven splendid strokes I played on repeat these past days
Seven terrific tracks to feed body and soul all week long
Turn up the volume! Music is the dope! Here’s the stuff!

.
1/ ‘Mushrooms’ by YES YES WHATEVER (Melbourne, Australia)
Crazy, deranged and bloody cranky, that’s exactly how these garage misfits sound like, probably stimulated by quality mushrooms. And their band name is wacko too. Hallelujah!

2/ ‘Kids’ by HEY BABY! (Brisbane Australia)
This poppy jingle jangle surf punk kick will electrify all your limbs, instantly. Amplified ecstasy to go completely bananas to. I guess, this happens when Aussie kids have fun.

3/ ‘Comrades’ by RODNEY CROMWELL (London, UK)
These electronic DIY waves feel like sonic sunbeams on your face. Atmospheric, uplifting and refreshing. Cut from Cromwell‘s upcoming ‘Rodney’s English Disco‘ EP – info right here.

4/ ‘Iterate’ by CRUSH DIAMOND (Houma, LA, US)
Swirling electro duo out of Louisiana producing steamrollin’ electricity that will mess up your mind and all of your senses. Get up and shake it, here’s some booming firework…

5/ ‘The Suffering Of Spiders’ by TRAITRS (Toronto, Canada)
Bass driven darkwave passion for the nightly hours. Melodic gloominess sounding both eccentric and affecting. From debut LP ‘Butcher’s Coin‘ – out 25 May via Pleasence Records

6/ ‘Gladiator Contender’ by John MOuse (Cardiff, Wales)
Mysterious, yet sweet and highly catchy story/tune with singer/songwriter MOuse assisted by a young girl’s touching voice. From his new LP ‘Replica Figures’. Stream it on Bandcamp

7/ ‘Pink Thoughts’ by TOPOGRAPHIES (Bay Area, Oakland, CA, US)
Californian shoegaze vibrations with sparkling The Cure guitar echoes. Multi-layered, harmonious, melodic and weirdly tender. This dreamy beauty is available on Bandcamp

See/hear you next week, music junkies…
