About This Release:

After 2010's 'Tuning Echoes'Mock & Toofreturn with their second albumentitled 'Temporary Happiness'. Previous vocal collaborators Pollyester &Gavin Gordon are replaced by young Swiss artistGhostapewho features onhalf of the 10 tracks, the remainder being instrumentals.
Anyone who is familiar with Mock & Toof's material through their excellentreleases onDFA, Mule Music, Rvng Intl & Tiny Stickswill know their soundisn't easily pigeon-holed & this album continues in the same tradition.Stylistically there are the occasional nods to today's & yesterday'smyriad of electronic genres, but it is concocted in such a way that theresulting tracks can't be easily slotted in with this gang or that scene.
'Temporary Happiness', as the title suggests, is darker, deeper & perhapsa little less accessible than its predecessor, but it does have itsmoments of light where the energy & drama of dance tracks'Snowball' &'Walking the Streets' shine through, contrasting with the murky & moremelancholic'Confusion Time' & 'Don't Work, Don't Care'. There is alsoplenty of space and a dub-funk mottled vibe running through a good numberof the tracks, which could be said to be a bit of a trademark.
At its core 'Temporary Happiness' is made by a combination of old machines& new computers, where Ghostape's vocals and the emphasis on hooks &melodies constitutes the more human side. If Mock & Toof's debut was aneclectic selection of songs & dance tracks bunched together, 'TemporaryHappiness' works more as a cohesive entity & pushes things forward. Neverentirely happy to churn out the same style of material, Mock & Toofdisplay a more inward, uncompromising streak as they progress in theirvery own world of sound.
