Micachu And The Shapes – “Oh Baby”

Micachu And The Shapes – “Oh Baby”

Mica Levi accumulated lots of attention and accolades with her score to Jonathan Glazer’s freaky sci-fi film Under The Skin. Now she’s back in Micachu & The Shapes mode, making off-kilter experimental pop that still sounds like nothing else. Micachu’s third album Good Sad Happy Bad spun out from a lengthy jam session recorded in secret by drummer Marc Pell. It’s heralded by lead single “Oh Baby,” which presents a creeping, low-key iteration of the group’s otherworldly junkyard music. The joyous sonic spasms of 2009 debut Jewellery have given way to something almost like trip-hop. Listen below.
