Are you already sick of the cold weather? Well, why not tuck away the hoodies, pull out your swimwear and dance next to the radiator to some cheesy eighties electro-pop like the rest of us – we all do that, right!? However, if you fancy something a little less peculiar, you should listen to electronic sun-smothered four-piece, Mausi. With tunes almost as cute and bright as their name, all you need is a decent imagination and one of their music videos and you’ll be able to pretend that winters don’t even exist.
Nineties vibes swoop beneath all of the Mausi tracks, slotting them nicely into the electro-pop category but with a nice, nostalgic edge. The summery Move features a frantic squeaking effect during its middle eight, thus catapulting the song into euphoric crescendo territory. It’s one of those songs that you can have on in the background and it still draws your attention and quietly infects your mind until you’re humming it relentlessly after a single listen.
‘sol.’ delivers more of the same, and comes complete with a jetsetting video to complement its Los Campesinos! meets powerpop vibe. If you want an easy entry into the next big electro-cool sensation, head straight for their latest release, Body Language. It basically feels like the lovechild of a computer and a hippy, and we love it. Its jaunty synths are a highlight of the chorus, as are Daisy Finetto’s crisp and clear vocals. Riviera-pop is what Mausi call it and, as its unique genre title suggests, it’s warm, inviting and not afraid to have a bit of fun. Check them out.
