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.
