Mox Share Melanie; Drop Heart LP
If you woke up today looking for a little mellow slide into the musical world, something along the lines of the early Alex G stuff, then might I suggest you try on California’s Mox. A simple bass line with accompanying piano opens the tune before a quick little drum snap and heavy riff really kick the song forward. There’s a constant twist and turn here, with softened vocal bits battling it out against this chopping riff that rings out to break up verse lines. I loved the breakdown, a lyrical promise to support “Melanie,” that came across offering a different sonic feel, which eventually turned into just a slight step into the weird…all things I love. Mox just dropped Heart, courtesy of Cherub Dream Records.
Spending today hanging out in the dark corners of the pop realm today, clearly, so it seems fitting I jump onto this
