PLANET MU

Price: $13.00 Label: Planet Mu
Release
Date:		 10/8/07
***Frog Pocket (a.k.a. John Charles Wilson) returns for his second album on Planet Mu. Come On Primates! is a tentative, truly original exploration. Hearing the mix of electronica and noise with folk influences, it's easy to imagine the dramatic Ayr landscape that inspires this album-- although it's not all wistful beauty.

With tracks such as "Corn Na Gaeth" employing heavy electronic drums, and "Dungeon Hills," a huge and looming masterpiece full of gnawing strings and beats, the album gently guides the listener on a beautiful sonic journey. An accomplished violinist as well as the artist who created the piece on the cover, Frog Pocket inspires with his creativity, making Come On Primates! set to be one of the electronica albums of the year.

***Frog Pocket, aka John Charles Wilson, hails from Ayr in the west of Scotland. Gonglot, his debut full length album, features songs culled from between 1999 and 2005, many originally self-released on his own Mouthmoth label. Incorporating unquantized drum beats with fiddle, mandolin, processed guitar and vocals-- all recorded live to four-track-- Frog Pocket has maintained his credibility both as a Scottish musician and contemporary electronic performer. The folk-inflected melodies of Gonglot owe more to Celtic traditional music than the American folk-rock/electronic crossover currently in vogue. Its pastoral theme has a tradition in electronic music running back through Boards Of Canada to Aphex Twin and originally Ultramarine.

Frog Pocket is a regular on the live circuit and his dedication to performance and networking with other artists and labels led to a friendship with Mike Paradinas at Planet Mu. The label released the single "Fir Faas" in 2003 and worked closely with Wilson compiling the tracks for this full length release.

To know the music is to love the man, and his quirky, somewhat misinterpreted demeanor only adds to his mystique. The fractured AFX-like beats, alongside some truly beautiful melodies and such an energetic live act, sit at odds with a character so unassuming and modest.
