#mocky #vinyl #indiemusic
Debuting on the respected Stones Throw label in 2025, Mocky, famed Canadian-born composer and musician, takes the music scene by storm. His new album, “Music Will Explain (Choir Music Vol. 1)” aims to explore the humanistic fundamentals of sound. The album comes amid an era of growing reliance on Artificial Intelligence, raising questions about our very existence and the ratification of our artistic outpourings.
“Music Will Explain (Choir Music Vol. 1)” is Mocky’s artistic statement in response to these philosophical quandaries. His contribution to the Northeast Los Angeles music scene unfurls fresh soundwaves drawn from the simplest yet most profound origin of music – the human voice. The album represents Mocky’s relentless pursuit for the ‘essence of sound’ achievable only by human beings. This persistently haunting sound resonates throughout Mocky’s soulful and melancholic album, echoing the vocal harmonies, live instrumentation, and the analog warmth of a bygone era.
Unifying the Motivations and Compositions of Mocky
Residing in the land where dreams come alive, Los Angeles, this Canadian export has truly made a mark with his diverse sound. Mocky’s influence includes a diaspora of artists, notably Jamie Lidell, Feist, Gonzales, and Peaches. His musical repertoire is commendably broad-based, covering soul, jazz, classical, Afro-beat, and funk, with a tantalizing injection of pop. Songs like those from his 2009’s sophisticated collection “Saskamodie” and the 2015’s transformative “Key Change” continue to resonate to this day.
“Music Will Explain (Choir Music Vol. 1)” showcases Mocky’s evolution as a musician, building on his earlier musical explorations like the mischievous rhythms of 2001’s “In Mesopotamia”. He also reveals his classically inflected side without compromise, in soundtracks like the ones composed for the Japanese anime series “Carole & Tuesday”.
The Envelope of Creation in Mocky’s Workshop
The birth of an enchanting melody is integral to Mocky’s creative process. He allows his friends and collaborators from the Northeast Los Angeles music community to create a symphony of voices around a single microphone, reminiscent of celebrated groups like the Bee Gees and the Beach Boys. Their voices, melting into a harmonious stream, provide a foundation on which Mocky layers the rest of the album. Be it his favored drums or keyboards, each detail accentuates this cohesive sonic narrative, making each piece a vital brick in the wall that forms “Music Will Explain (Choir Music Vol. 1)”.
Updates on Mocky’s Musical Journey: Exploring New Horizons
As the journey of Mocky’s music furthers, he recently breathed new life into the soulful classic “Just a Little Lovin'” by Dusty Springfield. Also worthy of note is Mocky’s track remix by the legendary Peanut Butter Wolf, featuring The Koreatown Oddity. The essence of “Music Will Explain (Choir Music Vol. 1)” follows through touching scores like “Overtones for the Omniverse” in 2021 and the stirring “Goosebumps Per Minute, Vol. 1” in 2022, bearing promise of more enchanting endeavours to come from Mocky.
