WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ABOUT SASKAMODIE!

"Mocky dwells in his own musical universe, swathed in an air of mystery, and his unique vibe has charmed many a critic, fellow musician, and discerning fan. His is a land of soul minimalism, his sparse, leisurely compositions drawing upon funk, Afro-beat, free jazz, classical, and whatever else might curry his flitting (but not fleeting) fancy. While dealing mostly in instrumentals, when Mocky injects words into the mix, he does so with a Nick Drake-esque feather touch, in both his vocals and his lyrics. (...) Saskamodie, released by Crammed Discs in 2009, proved to be somewhat of a breakthrough record for Mocky, earning universally positive reviews, including raves from Pitchfork and the BBC."
(All Music Guide)

"If Saskamodie was a film, it would undoubtedly be The Science of Sleep by Michel Gondry.  Please take that as a wholehearted endorsement"
(BBC)

"An exceptionally musical album - there's no other word for it - that could fail to seduce only the hardest of hearing, or the hardest of hearts"
(Pitchfork, 8.0 review)

"An amazing record...a big hit for me"
(Gilles Peterson)

"A revelatory gem of post-war sensibility...an evocative unit"
(Plan B)

.............................................................................................. New Single out October 4th! Birds Of A Feather including Remix feat. GZA! "Mocky has a reputation for surprising people with his music", ran the first line of the biography for "Saskamodie", Mocky's sublime debut album for Crammed Discs ... and sure enough, the man is at it again: this time with one of the world's greatest living rappers - GZA, no less, from the mighty Wu-Tang Clan - in tow. By way of making the heaven-sent jazz-pop melodies of 'Bird Of A Feather' even more infectious, Mocky calls upon Mr "Liquid Swords" to add a signature burst of gruff street philosophy  which, while keeping to the song's ornithological theme - "They say the early bird gets the worm/ 'cos it never has to fight for the crumbs and then take flight and turn" - turns it into a loose, rolling rap jam that marks a slight return to Mocky's musical past, as well as placing GZA in a new and comparatively upbeat (dare we say 'chirpy'?) musical context ... The digital single package comes with two further mixes of the same track: a slightly shorter radio edit, and the 'Rollerskating Jam', which finds Mocky in J. Dilla/Madlib mode, looping and chopping the original into a low-slung, tweaked-out groove for the head-nodding b-boy in us all.

ABOUT SASKAMODIE

Having won a lawsuit against a Austrian supermarket that used his song without permission (they set it to a talking pig selling bio products) Mocky took a risk and spent the winnings on block-booking Ferber Studios (a classic Parisian recording space previously used by Nina Simone and Serge Gainsbourg among others) for two weeks, in order to record a totally acoustic album. Unlike anything he has ever released before, the resulting album "Saskamodie" - his first since signing to Crammed Discs - sees Mocky moving away from the electronic music scene and returning to his jazz and acoustic roots. Out as download and CD March 23rd around the globe (and on CD April 7th in the UK and US).

What people are saying about "Saskamodie"

A record Mocky really needed to make. In these dark times, this album is like a night light. (He) has turned to haunting us with melodies that will quickly become your companions and will doubtless wander in step with you as you go about your days. Mocky lives in his own country of sound. It's a little place called Saskamodie.
JAMIE LIDELL

"The bears and foxes and crows in Aesop's Fables tell us stories about people. Mocky's doing something with wind and wood and hands that does the same thing.... acoustic instruments breaking music back down to the storytelling elements. His voice is a little bell, the narrator to a fable that makes the childlike, long forgotten gong in your chest wake right back up."
FEIST

"Jazz" is a naughty word nowadays, it evokes musicians who indulge themselves in a virtuosity contest. Fortunately, Saskamodie isn't a jazz album. It's more like an imaginary soundtrack. Mocky shows us what this naughty word should mean, in a parallel and mystical universe.
GONZALES (from Magic Magazine, France)
