Do You Like My Tight Sweater?

September 29th, 2006 by Maks

Meanwhile the girlie with the strange, somewhat pinched off, alien-esque voice Roisin Murphy went solo, but back in 1995 she and Mark Brydon raised Moloko. The two met at a party in Sheffield where Roisin introduced herself and fancied Mark with ”Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body”. Well, he did and one year later their first CD was a fact.
Former acid-jazzproducer Mark Brydon arranged an album while the triphop-hype was at its peak. In fact Moloko didn’t do triphop – whatever it may be – at all, but for convenience’s sake it was filed under it by most of the critics.

Bigger picture of CD sleeve

This debut-album travels around the darkrooms of breakbeat, funk and disco, covered up with danceable basses, the beautiful voice of Roisin and some nasty electronics (check out Killa Bunnies!). The songstructures are full of adventure and every now and then pretty weird too, as if they drank too much of the moloko (the ‘milk’ in Stanley Kubricks classic movie A Clockwork Orange, which in fact is some sort of drug).
The album brought up classic Moloko-songs as ‘Where Is The What If The What Is In Why?’, ‘Day For Night’ and of course clubhit ‘Fun For Me’, which also made it to the Batman & Robin soundtrack.
Yes we did like her tight sweater and yes it’s an album you can’t refuse!
