What People Say About Mohanski's Music

Here is a sampling of reviews, critiques, and accolades Mohanski have received over the past couple of years.

>> Losing Today

Hotdog Chihuahua sounds like nothing currently about in the record world.......In truth perhaps the best thing we've heard since Hot Chip's debut Mexico EP via Victory Gardens all those years ago....

Imagine The Doors meet The Beach Boys, mixed up with your favorite jam band, Brit-pop-icize it (think Beta Band - try "Airwolf"... if you don't believe me), and then plug them in with some electronic exclamations snuck in between. It's completely an album to kick back with and contemplate the atomic weight of air.

>> Teletex Entertainment Planet Sound

....combining Beck's slacker ethos with banjos, trippy FX and abstract beats, they conjour up a world where Phil Spector goes to the B-movies....Enjoyably hard to pin down...

>> New Noise.Net

....... a pretty smart album....."Mash It Up" is gorgeously sleepy, "Back Home" is a sweet porch-country number and "I've Been Sold" might have been briefly considered for inclusion on the Betass' Champion Versions EP, which is of course incredibly high praise.

>> Pointy Records

........an unlikely sounding combo that manage to combine the sounds of Amnesiac Radiohead with Arthur Lee's Love.

When I hear a band like Mohanski it makes me want to get back into radio so I can play them on the air and rave about how much I love their music. Mohanski have a unique sound that honors a wide swath of influences. Their songs are pretty, haunting, cerebral, clever, rhythmic, non-danceable and danceable.

Mohanski remind me of the qualities I used to love about Blur and Radiohead... but more consistently. They are releasing a little 7 inch sometime in the next few months, and I definitely plan on getting one. So shouldyou.

>> Aoife Mc of The Indie

If The Stone Roses had a child with Gomez, and then said child was adopted for two years by Massive Attack and Zero 7, and then returned to the land of Ian Brown post Stone Roses as a teenager - the fully functional adult before you would be Mohanski.

>> The Tube Club

Mohanski really had a buzz about them. Lovely people and top musicians. They are the rare breed that arent desperately looking for a deal but a label like Rough Trade should check these out...

>> Time Out - recommended gig

Atmospheric Hackney four-piece whose lo-fi ballads employ harmonica, melodica, xylophone, Casiotone and have been compared to Blur, Radiohead, Stone Roses, Portishead and Hot Chip.

>> Time Out

Unlikely but engaging blend of Love,, The Flying Burrito Brothers,, Beck, and Amnesiac,;-era Radiohead, from the headlining London quartet.

>> Shut Up & Sshshh

Wonderfully different pop music.......Like the Super Furries but never moving out of 1st gear.

>> What's On

Grooving harmony laden popsters.

>> Music of the Moment Blogspot

...a strange-and-beautiful London Band. Their mixture ofLo-Fi, Folk, Swing, Indie-Pop and R' n B is quite something. Best listen for yourself!

>> Living Athiest - Review of "California"

This is a truly lovely sounding song, the guitars tie in well with the sweet vocal harmonies and the drums hold it all together very well with an unusual trip-hop kind of beat. This is the kind of song you could imagine being used to soundtrack a Magners advert. It is just the right length also, coming under the wondorous three-minute-pop-song category. Very impressive. Reminds me of: Beach Boys, The Egg. Score: 8/10. In a sentence: Very relaxing.
