about

We are delighted to bring you the incredible debut album for MUTANTE, first released by the legends at Dreamlord Recordings in 2018. Now remastered and available on vinyl for the first time!

“We all know that music moves in 'cycles'; a generation will discover, revisit and rework the music of a former generation. We've seen this happen on a regular basis with differing results. One of the most pleasing of these revisits sees contemporary bands look back to the early pioneers of electronic music, especially the Berlin scene of the seventies, and thus we see the likes of Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Klaus Schulze becoming huge influences on modern music (it is fair to say, however, that these have long been major influences but now that influence is worn like a statement of intent). Add to this the rise in popularity of film soundtracks and a whole new generation becoming familiar with the likes of Fabio Frizzi, John Carpenter, Goblin etc etc and you have a heady brew of contemporary analogue music that treats these influences with the respect they deserve but add their own distinctive twist on affairs.

That preamble leads to this album by Mutante, the pairing of Alec Wood and Jonathan Parkes, who you may know from their equally as excellent Korb project. Previously out in 2018 on CD and digital on Dreamlord Recordings, this wonderful slice of nostalgic electronica is receiving a well deserved vinyl outing courtesy of those fine dudes at Up In Her Room Records. Now, as a rule I do try, not always successfully, not to use the word 'cinematic' but in this case I'm just gonna have to..'Mutante' is just crying out for a film ... a sci-fi/horror slasher film would be good!

The album is comprised of six tracks, all of which channel the aforementioned synth pioneers but all have their own personality; 'Automaton' has a wonderful arpeggio that drives the track in a Tangerine Dream soundtrack style while 'Bioman' has a real sense of foreboding about it. Other tracks like 'Neon Portal' see Kraftwerk becoming the main influence - it has that metronomic quality that gives the track a surefooted framework around which those lovely analogue sounds ebb and flow. For me the standout track is 'Dream Recorder' which is a more ambient piece that just makes me want to grow my hair long (some chance!), wear a chunky sweater and sit cross-legged on the floor of a Berlin studio circa 1972 and smoke a big, fat reefer ... absolutely majestic.

This rise in seventies infused electronica has seen many pretenders to the throne but these guys are no pretenders, they sit firmly at the top table of contemporary analogue synth. I picked up the CD back in 2018 and was blown away then but to hear it on vinyl...can't wait! It is up for pre-order on the Up In Her Room Bandcamp page on Nov 4th (this Friday) and I strongly encourage you to pick up a copy. “
