As any listener of Some American Radio will know, there are those of us here who enjoy music of a more electronic variety, and then there is me… who doesn’t. But it is a criminal fallacy to believe that I thus hate all electronic music, as every so often a song or an artist will capture my attention and cause me to reconsider trusted formula of music listening: keyboard/machines = bad. Mux Mool is one such artist.
“Lady Linda” - Mux Mool
Mr. Mool, neé Brian Lindgren of Minnesota, brings a nerdish disposition toward collecting, working feverishly and continuously collecting bits and pieces to weave seamlessly into his creations. “Lady Linda”, the first single from his upcoming full-length debut, Skulltaste (March 23 on Ghostly International), is measured and unhurried, full of soft, vintage tones, and injected with eerie, even alien sounds and “melodies”, and rounded off by a wave of lush strings that pulls it all in from the outer reaches. A crisp break-beat, a subdued air, some odd touches, and a varied trajectory: it’s not that hard to make me like an electronic track, friends.
