Fancy Mike returns with his long-awaited follow-up to Madison Square Gardner, and after two years of adventures such as spending a year teaching in France, sharing the stage with some of his favorite artists and writing his first novel, the evolution in his sound is impressive. Making appearances on Mary B. James are pianos, sitars, steel drums, horns, rich synth melodies, bone-rattling bass and more but overall this is a complete work, linked together spaciously into a kind of Midwest Minimalism. Very much worth the wait.

Fancy Mike returns to Canada’s King Deluxe label with a clutch of sideward synth cues and offbeat drum programming. At times he sounds like Kuedo ‘Vangelis Horse’, at others going for the Giallo style ‘VVVV, 1977’, and others like Dylan Ettinger on ‘Alien vs Predator’ or even Michael Diekmann on the curiously exotic arrangement of ‘Pink Flamingos’. Really good stuff.–Boomkat
