Day at the seaside

Joseph Mount is a sound wizard. Inspired by the experimental sounds of British electro acts such as "Autechre", "LFO" or "Aphex Twin" has the Englishman, initially only equipped with the G3 computer of his father, worked out from the idyllic Devon out to London. Meanwhile, his name appeared on related productions and remixes of bands like "Goldfrapp", "Klaxons" or "Roots Manuva". Intelligent Dance Music - an accurate description of his multifaceted Kompositionen.Das over long distances instrumental debut "Pip Paine (Pay The £ 5000 You Owe)" appears in 2006. At this time, Mount already seven years running. Only for his live shows, he gathered more 3 musicians around him. "Nights out" appears for 2 years later and brings a noticeable, albeit still nested PopNote into play. His singing takes a larger space and shapes the new character of "Metronomy" that accompanies the nocturnal journey to the next party.

With "The English Riviera" the creative spirit's new surprises. Its blend of Indie Pop, Electronic and IDM equally demanding as entertaining. 70s, 80s, 90s, today. Joseph Mount processed the electro pop sounds of the past 40 years and combines it with a mix of funk, krautrock and artistic freewheeling. Sometimes strange, like quirky, but also witty repeatedly and cuddly. In keeping with the title itself is the plate also ideal as background music for a day at sea. Seagulls and a violin invite the intro for sunbathing and relaxing. "We broke free" abducted skilfully the tempo. Over the course of the song rears to indie rockers and makes the term Experimental Pop all the glory. Broken Tune and scratchy riffs are facing the perfect harmony. "Everything Goes My Way" benefits from engaging antiphon between Mount and Roxanne Clifford. They are accompanied by saxophone, handclaps and well dosed percussion. From polyphonic / analog synthesizer on Talkbox to Clavinet. Somehow dusty, one might think, yet timeless in its reunification. And yes, sometimes the relaxing songs have the character of a French 70s soft porn soundtracks. "I have determined not interested to do the same again. I like the stuff that is changing." That has succeeded and to an album that is like an epic journey into the heart of popular music.
