MINT MYSPACE / BOLTFISH RECORDINGS

Is it oddly danceable dark ambient? Is it infectious bubblegummy IDM?  Yes to both.  Experimental?  Occasionally.  Cardboard Rocketships is the ninth release from Londoner Murray Fisher aka Mint, and we must admit, we have no idea how this wildly talented and ecclectic electronica artist has evaded our gaze for so long.  Glitchy beats weave through melodic synth.  Although the rhythms will keep your head bopping as you walk through the rain, some of the most memorable snippets lurk in the background of the tracks.  This is an album for repeated close listens.  So repeatedly listen to the Nowlikephotographs podcast here.
