In depth:
Another inductee into the Honors Hall of Fame of moriddim covers of illustrious infamy and entropy. This time its Chris Isaak’s ”Wicked Games,” the seminal tune that we all remember from one time or another that would’ve either gotten your girlfriend outt’ve ‘er drawers or beckoned great grandma to crank it up some more. It’s got that same bluesy, country lull and lang but with a newer, aqueous nü-soul infusion a la Sebastien Tellier and one of his ingenious, simple-icious instrumental ballads dubbed“Le Long De La Riviere Tendre.” Whether it was his intention to borrow from this tune or not, I will never know. But that’s not what’s important right? Come and play and cry your Venereal Day woes away.
About me
Synthetic. Dark. Moving. Vibrant. All of these words pertain to the music of moriddim. He combines influences from popular 80's artists like Depeche Mode and Gary Numan with newer beat crafters like the Crystal Method and Four Tet. moriddim also borrows from the cryptic stream-of-consciousness style lyrics of bands like Underworld and Soul Coughing with delivery characteristic of vocalists like Pete Yorn and Beck. Multiple comparisons will spring to mind upon listening, but listeners will find themselves having a hard time finding music that fits just as well on the dancefloor as it does in the living room. Enjoy.
