Look Mum No Mixtape

INFO

From flame-throwing organs to DIY synths, Sam Battle AKA LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER is as much a mad scientist as he is a musician, taking the internet by storm with his wild inventions and eclectic personality. LMNC creates a wholly-unique hybrid of disjointed pop, fusing fuzzed-out bass with modular synth leads, fat analog drum machines, and sardonic British wit, creating an insanely catchy and dangerously danceable mix.

On “Look Mum No Mixtape,” Sam Battle does battle with conventional songwriting, adventurously bouncing between catchy choruses and sonic outbursts of synthesizer squelches effortlessly. Utilizing a literal wall of homemade modular synthesizers and drum machines in cacophonous combination, LMNC creates songs that are immediately memorable while remaining wildly experimental. A true renaissance man, Sam Battle doubles on vocal duties, lyrically tackling a mish-mash of topics ranging from social media to mass media to simulated worlds and beyond, sometimes via silliness and sarcasm but always intelligently insightful.

Despite dropping a few years ago, “Look Mum No Mixtape” is as prescient now as it was then, and Auris Apothecary is honored to give it the physical pressing it has always deserved.
