DOWNLOAD - Mo Kolours - Biddies
Somewhere between archival recordings of exotic singers and back-of-the-bin dusty grooves lies the music of Mo Kolours. On his debut, EP1: Drum Talking—out May 16th on vinyl and digital via One-Handed—the half-Mauritian singer clouds his singing in fuzz and detritus, while his humid, supple production recalls everything from field recordings to Polynesian folk songs to Tricky to Theo Parrish to Dr. John. But the fluid synthesis of all these different styles is what's so remarkable about Mo Kolours' music—it's something new in so far as it blends sounds so seamlessly. Look no further than "Biddies," where ghostly yawps and murmurs pepper a boxy, weathered drum loop and sleepy bass line, the song slipping off ever so languidly into the ether.
