Neil Cicierega - Mouth Moods
Neil Cicierega - Mouth Moods
Neil Cicierega, he of Lemon Demon, animutation, and a self-proclaimed "Internet person" is on a hell of a roll. Seriously, he's been putting out the best music of his career recently. The previous two Mouth albums and his most recent outing as Lemon Demon have all been truly excellent. This new entry in his Mouth saga is no exception.
Yes, this is a mash-up album, and every track here is in essence built on a central joke. But Cicierega is going for more than laughs here. He just can't help but make his absurd re-contextualizations double as amazingly addictive pop songs. And, like some sort of mad god, he's constructing his own rearranged pop culture universe - mutating and stretching as he desires, finding new meaning by putting things in unlikely places. It will surprise you at every turn.
Great comedic music lasts beyond the initial laugh by also being just great music. And Mouth Moods is certainly great.
