Brooks Mosher At Juno Download

Review: With just a few EPs under his belt - although one of them was with Szare from Horizontal Ground - it would be easy to overlook Brooks Mosher amid the deluge of new releases appearing every week. But while it takes some artists a lifetime to define their sound, Mosher's music has arrived fully formed and ready. Clearly inspired by the surging power of Drexciya and the raw primitivism of Omar S with a healthy dose of nagging acid, it's the basslines that make this release so strong. It also helps that on "Jupiter Attack" the driving hats sound like they're sparring with the resonating low end or that the title track forges a new middle ground between Detroit house trackiness and the swing of Chicago. It's not all rhythm-based functionality though and both "CIP" and "InterMetro" show that Mosher is capable of turning his attention to musical leanings, with his powerful rhythms providing the backdrop for outer space acid blips and rich, mournful chord progressions. Sounds like there's a new star in town.
