Mocky - The Moxtape Vol.III

Let's stay in the bubbling futuristic Jazz & Lo-Fi Californian scene for a moment, with some new treats from LA-based Canadian producer Mocky.

His phenomenal 2015 LP Key Change still hasn't left my Iphone heavy rotation playlist, that I already have to find some extra storage space to host the beautiful third batch of his "Moxtape" series.
More than a kaleidoscope of forgotten B-sides, this Volume III parts gathers more of his signature dreamy moments, made of sweet piano and bells-led melodies.
The contribution of a few high-profile guests like violin master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (him again!) adds to the overall poetic feeling emanating from this new release.

The Moxtape Vol.III is available on his Bandcamp page, my favorites extracts below:

Mocky - Key Change (Heavy Sheet Productions)

Released just before the summer, Mocky's fifth album, Key Change, is an enchanted interlude floating above the obsolete boundaries dividing downtempo, soul, jazz and pop.

All along this very cohesive record, the LA-based multi-intrumentalist and producer demonstrates his songwriting talent, as well as his knack for crafting cosy and poetic musical atmospheres.
Add to this the participation of some of my favorite nu-jazz and indie/folk artists like Miguel Atwood-Feguson, Gonzales and Feist, and you get a very special experience.

Feel-good-stamped LP!
