Underrated Albums - MOLOKO - DO YOU LIKE MY TIGHT SWEATER

in music •  5 years ago 

One of the music styles that did it for me beside metal, industrial and dance is Trip Hop.

Trip Hop emerged from Bristol in the nineties with acts like Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky

Even though the name of the genre is hated by most artist and producers that created it, i still call it like that, because ... well, you got to name it something

One of the acts that caught my attention with their video was Moloko, and the single’s name was called ‘Fun for Me’ (this was the first shoot of the video, because after moloko reached some succes, and a placement in the batman & robin movie, the single got a newer, better video)

Their 1995 debut album was called

Do You Like My Tight Sweater

Moloko were an English-Irish electronic music duo formed in Sheffield, England, consisting of vocalist Róisín Murphy and producer Mark Brydon.

The title of the album is derived from the singer Róisín Murphy's chat-up line to Mark Brydon at a party in 1994: "Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body!"

Nowadays Róisín Murphy is a world known superstar, but Murphy had no prior professional experience as a singer when Moloko was formed.

The name Moloko comes from the narcotic-filled milk drink, Moloko Plus, in the Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange, and the album works very well in the mid of night when you come down of a long weekend partying

The album has 17 tracks, and various remixes of these songs appeared over the years.

Moloko released 4 albums before breaking up.

Beside good music, the band used tongue in cheek humor on their songs, something Murphy continued with when she went solo.

Because the album is not available as a whole on you tune, i just posted some of my favorite tracks, but it is really worth the listen as a whole, especially because it’s recorded with quadrophonic sound
