Even if you get the smallest touch of enjoyment out of electronic music, you must hear this Mush release or else walk away from music forever. Mat Ronson, the mancorp known as Fisk Industries, pops out the tastiest of bedroom beats like most people shit, so don’t be turned off by the idea this is an EPs & Rarities collection. There isn’t a single throwaway track here. Ronson’s smothering of ambient synths, disembodied clicks, fractured samples, and fat ass bass is pure, unwavering gold. The first disk collects his two 10” vinyl EPs and is well worth the price of admission on its own. The second obviously pieces together obscure and compilation tracks, as well as some digital only singles. Some of the latter are still available online for free, so you don’t have to take my word for it. You’re just going to buy this album anyway once you hear them, though. Oh, yes… - Nerve |
