Mamalarky - Pocket Fantasy (Cream & Blue Splatter Vinyl)

Mamalarky - Pocket Fantasy (Cream & Blue Splatter Vinyl)Pocket Fantasy, the sophomore album from Mamalarky is an instant classic sunny day record, imaginative and introspective, an enveloping listen of skyhigh hooks and keyboards that soar with joyful abandon. Its twelve kaleidoscopic tracks shapeshift aesthetically and thematically, through ideas about death and impermanence; love and gratitude; nature and technology; humor and hope. Heralded by Billboard, Nylon, The Fader and more, the new album expands

distorted freakouts and downtempo musings weave together a tapestry of sound that’s both intoxicating and effortless

” jangling and swaying with the Nashville guitar in the foreground

featuring the drifting catatonic majesty of 'seeland' and the tidal ambient lull of 'leb' wohl' is very recognizably led by rother's sense of affecting minimalism

Donuts is accessible without being typical or easily defined: it's hip hop without MCs

where the industrial punch of “In Hell” sits alongside the chopped up vocals and melodic keys of “Get Right Up to the Mic

look around
