Yet, for a brief flash in the late 1980s and early \u201990s, Scot-born Nick Currie\u2019s mischievous music might have wormed its way into the neo-libertine consciousness of a generation exploring novel chemical compounds. Alas, lad-rock trumped pan-global bohemia, and Momus became the cult figure he was probably always destined to be. For those unfamiliar, Momus mostly makes DIY synth-pop with vaudeville-lullaby melodies and scathing wit. His best work is what Oscar Wilde might have sounded like if he had access to cheap synthesizers and Japanese fetish mags.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Currie \u2013 also a journalist and long-time blogger \u2013 has, in the last decade, resided in Tokyo, New York and Berlin. Having worked with artists around the world, Momus gets an assist from a fellow Scot for his latest release, Joemus. Recorded with breakcore producer Joe Howe, the album infuses Currie\u2019s electro-vaudeville sensibilities with a scrappy, 8-bit aesthetic. Now in his late 40s, you could say Momus has entered his \u201cbaroque\u201d period \u2013 that is, if he hadn\u2019t always been there. Currie\u2019s paradise of lithe Japanese women pouring him champagne atop a techno-Mount Olympus is unlikely to ever manifest. But with plenty of wag left in his hoary tail, we can expect more whore-y tales. In 1991, Currie said that, \u201cin the future everyone will be famous for fifteen people.\u201d Count me among the elite.&#8221; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dustedmagazine.com\/reviews\/4677\">dustedmagazine<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/imomus.livejournal.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff; background-color: black;\">momus blog<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Patchwork \/ nov 2008 \/ download &#8220;There was probably never any real hope of Momus getting famous, no matter how hard (and often) he crooned for it.
