MULCHZOID -
Laptopdancer
Mulchzoid is the electronic extension of David
Mulcahy, dark pop luminary of JPS Experience, Superette
and Kimo / Eskimo fame. Mulcahy has a long history
of providing quality dark pop masterpieces to the unsuspecting
public and Laptopdancer is no exception to that rule.
Exploring the premise of one microphone one computer
and one bedroom Mulcahy has locked himself away and
produced a strong collection of sparkling dark compositions
musing on themes of Girls, Drugs, Suicide Bombers,
Existence, Celebrity and Fascism over its lucky number
of 13 tracks. Stylistically the album touches on the
sounds of New Order, Suicide and Snapper, and Cabaret
Voltaire, whiles still sounding exactly like an album
you'd expect from someone of David's lineage. Sparkling
Dark Pop. Enjoy

KIMO (FORMERLY ESKIMO)
- Surrender
Surrender
is the new
album from
Christchurch
band Kimo,
2 years in
the making
and featuring
dark pop
and deep
textures
from the
core duo
of Rob Mayes
(Throw, Dolphin,
+ guest stints
in Children's
Hour and
Chris Matthew's
Robot Monkey
Orchestra)
and David
Mulcahy (JPS
Experience,
Superette,
Mulchzoid).
The band decided to try and make an album in a unified
and cohesive style rather than attempt to cover all
aspects of the wide world of music and aided (or unaided)
by a bizarre luggage accident break to Mayes' fretting
hand saw a push for the album toward the less rock
spectrum of Kimo's sound, ie all the pretty songs have
made it to the one album. That coupled more by accident
than design a thematic similarity with most of the
songs exploring the various connotations of the word
Surrender, many of them positive.
