Somewhere A Fox Is Getting Married
Boomkat Product Review:
As the Royal Wedding quickly becomes a faded memory we have Moon Wiring Club's 'Somewhere A Fox Is Getting Married' to remind us just how absurd it all was. His latest missive from the fictitious town of Clinksell continues the story of a fox-faced phantom who won the opportunity to marry into royalty thanks to his success in a surreal card game. This is essentially the souvenir album, destined to be discovered and pored over by baffled charity shop diggers in 50 years time, next to battered copies of Vic Reeves and The Wonder Stuff 7"s and Kromestar white labels. It's an apt tribute, imagining the soundtrack to a dark fairytale of anachronistic traditions and strange spectacles from a parallel world to our own. Again, MWC aka Ian Hodgson works with his trusted Playstation 2 to weave a knotty tangle of loping HipHop beats and sampledelic texturing, perhaps favouring more explicitly "darkside" sounds than many of his previous albums. In the dread dub crevasses of 'Trapped In Four Dimensions', the ghostly harpsichord of 'Antiques Roadshow' or the haunted voices on 'Coquettish & Insane' he elicits a magisterial sense of looming forces at play, always with an unnervingly stoic yet giddy weirdness, mirroring the latent strangeness of the ruling classes with a really sinister tint. Best of all, it's one of the most compelling Moon Wiring Club albums we've had the pleasure of checking, a sentiment shared by the likes of The Guardian and Simon Reynolds who are both singing its praises. Highly recommended - especially if you're into the work of Position Normal, Z-Trip, Ghost Box, Woebot or those classic Disengage radio transmissions on KISS FM back in the mid 90's.
