Description
Voks aka Mikkel Moir Pihl from Copenhagen, Denmark is
a household name on Dekorder, being signed to the label since its inception six
years ago. Though keeping a low profile with only two 3"CD releases in all these
years he won over some dedicated fans such as the late John Peel, who shortly
before his death played a different Voks track every week for several weeks in a
row.
Now Voks is finally presenting his first full-length album (though
only 30 minutes long this is epic in Voks' universe - both 3"CD's included 10
tracks each within 20 minutes). While keeping his trademark style of hyperactive
and nervous high-pitched twisted pop songs a newborn interest in (italo-western)
movie soundtracks seems to be evident. The sound of super fast surf guitars is
colliding with what seems chinese opera samples, world music is combined with
children's whisteling tunes. Think Raymond Scott, Joe Meek, Ennio Morricone or
Carl Stalling collaborating with the Residents and then getting an 8-bit remix
by the Aphex Twin. A surprising & amazing record, really! It will leave a
huge grin on your face (and a few question marks as
well)....
