This little jazz-psyche jam is perfect for a cold, dark and rainy Sunday afternoon. At least, that’s what it’s like here in Manchester, but I bet it goes well with the sunshine too. Or any weather state actually.
If you don’t know Momus, he’s a pretty legendary Scottish indie music figure who has been around since the mid-Eighties. He’s been associated with record labels like Postcard, Cherry Red and Creation. He keeps a great blog, with some very interesting articles and all his latest news, at imomus.
This track is from his last album Hypnoprism (2010, Anagram Records) and features keys from Ben Butler (him again!). Interestingly, Momus made a video for each of the tunes from the LP, and uploaded them one by one, as they were finished, to his YouTube account. Here’s the rest of the album, in video form:
“Adoration”
“Confiance Absolue”
“Building Song”
“Bubble Music”
“Death Ruins Everything”
“Is There Sex In Marriage?”
“Deliverance”
“Mr Consistency”
“Evil Genius”
“Datapanik”
“The Charm Song”
“Hypnoprism”
