Mo'Momus

The return of the tender pervert - Momus is releasing a new album Ocky Milk either next week (if you believe Amazon) or next month (if you believe his press people who, frankly, we'd go with.)

It's his happy album, apparently:

Momus recently described this collection as his " friendly album" and his aim was make a record that contains elements of Torch, or rather, the sentimental drinking music known in Japan as Enka. Torch would offset the pastoral friendliness of his original idea and make it more dynamic, yearning... and strange. The music has a hermetic, poetic feel, mysterious and serene, with surreal lyrics that sound like they've been misheard or mistranslated.

Perhaps if you mistranslate Momus, he would start to sound a little more jolly.

Run away now! Save yourself! Enka is the work of the devil!
(recalls with a shudder too many nights in Japanese karaoke bars...)
