On Philosophy of Momus album, Momus have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Momus was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Momus and Philosophy of Momus together. John Digester has compared writing for Momus’s new album to that on ‘Philosophy of Momus’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This is my first Momus Album and i must say i am blown away.
This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is It’s Important To Be Trendy because the melody in the chorus is so good. Quark And Charm The Robot Twins is the amazing blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Philosophy of Momus is Girlish Boy. Yokohama Chinatown is outstanding work of Momus. I now have Withinity as one of my personal favorites. From the moment you listen to K’s Diary you’re hooked. Listening to Virtual Valerie you can hear that Momus has still amazing chemistry with band members. Strong, powerful vocals of Momus in Red Pyjamas are very impressive. Some of the arrangements found on Philosophy of Momus are surprisingly edgy. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Microworlds is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Complicated - Check out that bassline! I Had A Girl is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. I like Philiosophy Of Momus because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Loneliness Of Lift Music is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. Charming song, great melody. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song.
