Mamalarky

Här möts drömsk indierock med originella arrangemang och hypnotiska gitarrslingor. Detta är Mamalarkys andra album och bandet som under åren turnerat hårt i hemlandet USA åker om ett par veckor ut igen, denna gången tillsammans med Hinds. Det här är inte musik som är lätt att placera i ett fack, vilket gör det hela extra spännande. Vi håller ögonen och öronen öppna för Mamalarky.

Mamalarky spent two years working on their self-titled debut album (out via Fire Talk on November 20th). Raw and cerebral, the LP looks to a range of influences from their collective musical nerdiness. ''We might have a vocal melody that sounds like the lead steel guitar from Santo & Johnny, played over production that aims to be noisy and weird like Deerhoof or Sheer Mag, all the while steeped in the greats like Stevie Wonder or The Four Seasons,' explains Livvy. The album itself was cobbled together in a mix of DIY ways: home recordings with Livvyâ_(tm)s roommate Joey Oaxaca (White Reaper, Mo Dotti), singles with Daniel McNeill (White Denim) and a â_ofinal wrapping-upâ_Â? with engineer Jim Vollentine (Spoon, Skating Polly). The result is an album thatâ_(tm)s as musically fun and explorative as it is catchy and sweet. Or as Mamalarky puts it â_oWe want to provide an experience that's

Pocket Fantasy, the sophomore album from Mamalarky is an instant-classic sunny-day record, imaginative and introspective, an enveloping listen of skyhigh hooks and keyboards that soar with joyful abandon. Its twelve kaleidoscopic tracks shapeshift aesthetically and thematically, through ideas about death and impermanence; love and gratitude; nature and technology; humor and hope. Heralded by Billboard, Nylon, The Fader and more, the new album expands on the unique sound of their self-titled debut which Pitchfork called "tenderly tangled indie rock". On Pocket Fantasy some of the band's purest pop tendencies collide with more warped and weird strains of quirky psych. It's a treasure trove of playful grooves and zigzag riffs, a phenomenal album from a young group poised to carve their own place in the bins of your favorite record store.
