I truly enjoyed listening to ‘Mosby and the Others’. Built on charming lo-fi and house stylings, the EP feels more like a soundtrack, a hazy, spacious and evocative sonic counterpart to a blissful moment. Built over four slices of leftfield synthetisers and electronic beats, the record constantly modulates its intensity, going from the all-out punchy bays of ‘Maus’ to the more crepuscular and articulate territories of ‘Jacques’.
Drenched in a myriad of bright textures and mysterious soundscapes, ‘Mosby and the Others’ continues fiercely, sharing ‘Oka’ as a sort of retro wave episode, decisively less dancy and more introspective. ‘Hope’ brings the record to a close almost in synthwave fashion, incorporating 80s stylings and great eclecticism.
Overall, ‘Mosby and the Others’ is a great offering. Penned by Brisbane-based composer and creative Daniel Jeppesen-Field, the EP is “the first in a series of conceptual albums that will tell the story of Mosby the wolf” as he so eloquently explains.
