“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.”

“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”
