MH-029 Nobody - Fancy  The Mush seven-inch series continues with a strong offering from Los Angeles producer Nobody featuring guest vocals from Kurt Heasley of The Lilys. Side A is a full cover of The Kinks' 1966 classic, "Fancy," with ornate strings, daisy-age hip-hop percussion, sweeping synth touches, and Heasley channeling Ray Davies using a throwback vocal style that has made The Lilys one of the most respected purveyors of a modern take on '60s psychedelia. Side B is a complete instrumental reworking of the track by Nobody that brings to the forefront space rock elements of the original mix to create a drone-drenched masterpiece. |

| I haven’t heard any of Nobody’s other productions, but this one is a treat: a hazy, suitably trippy reworking of the Kinks’ delicate ballad “Fancy” as sung by Kurt Heasley of shoegaze notables the Lilys. It’s nice, doesn’t hold a candle to the original of course, but that’s not quite the point. The instrumental side provides some depth that the somewhat cold beats on the vocal side seem to not contextualize as well, but all in all it’s a successful pop/experimental outing from a guy who normally does hip-hop production, and I for one welcome the branching out. Edition of 1000 copies. - Dusted |
