Life Of Mammals Digital Album

If yoursquove ever imagined what a band influenced by Scott Walker, John Cale, Roxy Music, Jonathan Richman, DAF, dub, Robert Wyatt, postpunk and Krautrock might sound like, then you might finally have your answer. Theyrsquore called Museum Of Love and theyrsquove made what may well be 2021rsquos boldest album. ldquoTheres house music in there, too,rdquo adds Pat Mahoney, singer and cowriter, ldquoalthough maybe not on the surface. I felt like our first album was more in that world, but with this record, weve ended up making a weird rock LP.rdquoWeird, perhaps, but also enormous knockabout fun, at times approaching their song craft with the bombast of lsquoBohemian Rhapsodyrsquo, the outlook of the Marx brothers and matched with the production knowledge of a Basic Channel record. A bewitching combination that rewards repeat listens, itrsquos doubtful anyone will release a more compelling and beguiling album this year.Museum Of Love is Pat Mahoney and Dennis McNany. Mahoney is best known as the drummer in allconquering NYC band LCD Soundsystem, while Dennis got his studio chops as an intern and assistant engineer at Plantain Studios in the West Village at a time when DFArsquos Tim Goldsworthy was in permanent residence and a whole scene was emerging from Manhattan. ldquoIn those early days,rdquo says Dennis, ldquoit was just friends coming in and out, occasionally doing projects, so you would meet a lot of people. Pat was in and out and thatrsquos how we got to know each other. It just became a little bit of a family there for a couple years.rdquo1. Museum of Love ndash Your Nails Have Grown2.
