Mophono November 19, 2007

Mophono was the first Pandora recommendation to really catch me. This duo sprang from San Francisco with their debut release “I Cry” in 2004. They have yet to produce another album, but I’m hoping it’s shortly in the wings.

I Cry traverses many different musical styles. The tracks range from hip hop to downtempo to IDM. In them, I hear influences of DJ Shadow, Aphex Twin, Booka Shade, Four Tet and maybe even a little Wax Tailor.

I’ve posted the album in its entirety for those of you who are interested. It won’t take much digging for you to find it.

This last track falls outside of everything else I’ve heard from them. You can find it on the Golden Gate Breaks compilation. Here’s to feeling free, and many joyous days to come.
