MY MY
SONGS FOR THE GENTLE
PLAYHOUSE

My my are a Berlin based trio consisting of ex-pat Brits Lee Jones and Nick Hoppner plus local marathon DJ Carsten Klemann. After three appetite-whetting singles – a track from each as bonus tracks here- their debut album is a complete joy, languidly gliding into the spaced minimal lope but also throwing in other scattershot references to dub [‘When It Rains’] and Hip Hop – the cut-up fest that is the wonderfully-named ‘The Secret Life Of Pants’. ‘Clean Break’ is cheeky and bouncy but, at the other end of their sonic spectrum, tracks like ‘Reverse Charge’ are scraping and shadowy. It also gets very deep at times as on the sparse ‘Pelourinho’. They sound like they’re having a ball charting each new stretch. Well worth a dip.
