L.A.に移住後もJOEY DOSIKやNIA ANDREWS, MIGUEL ATWOOD-FERGUSONたちとも交流録音しながらヴィンテテージとDIYなエレクトロニクスも交えながら独自のポップサウンドで魅了してきたMOCKY。ニューリリースです。データーで「Moxtape」としてリリースされてきた(日本では独自にWINDBELLさんがCD化)シリーズ４作からセレクトとされた「Best Of Moxtape」な内容。「Music Save Me (One More Time)」アナログリリースです！ (サイトウ)

Our very own Mocky’s 2021 release is a tear-jerking masterpiece. It’s exactly what we hoped for—that feeling we’d almost forgotten—and it’s pure, signature Mocky at his best. Recorded at the same studio where Stevie Wonder has recorded, the album quietly forges ahead with a pure quest to challenge the history of “good music” and capture its univers ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Shhhhh)ality. Featuring Moses Sumney, Nia Andrews, Feist, and Eddie Chacón (!)—though having this lineup just for the backing vocals is so typical of him. You’ll definitely be hitting repeat. It’s wonderful...

MOCKYサウンドを決定づけた名作"Saskamodie"はパリの著名なジャズ・スタジオの録音だったり、チリー・ゴンザレスやファイストといったパリの交友関係からなる不思議な折衷サウンドだったんですが、L.Aに移住していつの間に随分経って割とL.A今サウンドに食い込んでるのも面白い。かといってMOCKYサウンドは全くブレず、むしろ今L.Aサウンドのリッチな豊穣感がMOCKYサウンドに追いついた？とか思っちゃいます。パリからL.Aへ、何気にボヘミアンな本人の性質もこのMOCKYサウンドの本質なのかなとも。ベッドルームで1人でも、友人とラウンジ、ホームパーティ、フロアでもどこでも映えそうなMOCKYサウンド。 (Shhhhh)

It’s been about six years since “Saskamodie,” the classic album beloved by music fans across genres. This is MOCKY’s long-awaited new album. He has since moved his base to LA and appears to be embarking on a new chapter. Much like his previous work, the album is built on an acoustic sound achieved through multi-track recording of piano, drums, bass ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Saito), guitar, strings, and more. It also features contributions from key figures in the LA music scene, including his longtime collaborators Feist, Chilly Gonzales, and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. A magical soundscape that transports you to another world. It’s a wonderful musical experience. The Japanese edition is released by WIND BELL. In addition to two bonus tracks, the deluxe edition includes an extra CD featuring previously unreleased tracks that hadn’t been officially released on physical media (and this one is fantastic, too!).

Following the release of the album “Key Change” and his electrifying Japan tour—which many voted as the best act and best album of 2015—MOCKY returns with his 2016 album. The lead track, “Keep Feelin’ This,” features longtime collaborator Jamie Riddle on lead vocals. It’s a dance track blending vocals, electronics, and loose drum and bass grooves, ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Saito)interspersed with dub mixes. The sound beautifully carries on the laid-back vibe and “wall of sound” aesthetic of his previous work. Featuring tracks like “Sweet Things,” which includes NIA ANDREWS and JOEY DOSIK—who accompany him on every visit to Japan—as well as a track featuring MIGUEL ATWOOD-FERGUSON, this album showcases the wonderful world of MOCKY.

Now in stock! It's the crystallization of the ACE JAM sessions MOCKY has hosted with his friends in the ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Saito) top-floor lounge of L.A.'s ACE HOTEL, tracked multitrack in just a single day at United Recording in Hollywood, then carefully edited and mixed. The individual musicianship and MOCKY's signature attention to sound and texture give it real depth — just over 30 minutes of near-all-instrumental, magical sound world. Highly recommended.

The musicianship of each player, along with the sonics and textures only MOCKY could craft, gives the record real depth — a little over 30 minutes of almost entirely instrumental, magical sound worlds.
