What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

Is it just me or do I review a new Type 7" every week? It certainly seems like it. This one is from MOKIRA entitled 'This Bum Will Bring Us Together'. This is the sound of a machine slightly malfunctioning while spitting out shards of melody and warm tones. There has an organ sound and what sounds like a guitar coming in later in the track as it evolves into a sweet melancholy little number. The palate of sounds utilized on the flip are similar although the mood is a more uplifting one. Giving you a sense of hope after feeling down. A huge amount of emotion is transmitted through here. Clearly Mokira is more than capable of expressing feeling through music. A fine 7" record.

What the label says:

It has been almost four years since the release of ‘Album’, so it’s fitting that Andreas Tilliander returns to Type with a contribution to the ongoing 7” series. And what a contribution – these two tracks show Tilliander’s transition from digital to analogue as he casts off the digital demons of his past to craft two tape recorded shoegazing epics which revel in glacial Scandinavian beauty. Like Sigur Ros as realised by Basic Channel or My Bloody Valentine piped through decomposing, hotwired synthesizers this is an uncompromising blend of styles, but has a grounding in good old fashioned melancholic pop, even down to the Smiths-referencing track titles. While the bubbling ambient dub and glitchy minimalism of his previous work might now be all but an echo, the sentiment and skill is still present throughout and when Tilliander strikes the guitar triumphantly on ‘I Was her My 15th 1995’ all misgivings are thrown out of an open window. This is Mokira re-wired and re-imagined for 2007…
