Song of the Day - Sept 27, 2005

Mixel Pixel reminds me of The Fall, Pink Floyd, and a dash of The Unicorns. They have a psych-folk sound mixed with strange samples and a feeling that something is about to go out of control. This is particularly evident in the track "I Am The Contact Kid." The male vocals sound heavily influenced by The Fall, while the female vocals add a touch of contrast. There are lo-fi beeps and ominous sounding synthesizers, which reminds of Pink Floyd. The whole effect is one of a psychedelic nightmare; the kind where you wake up in a cold sweat as you feel yourself falling to your doom. Click here to listen.
