MH-029 Nobody - Fancy The Mush seven-inch series continues with a strong offering from Los Angeles producer Nobody featuring guest vocals from Kurt Heasley of The Lilys. Side A is a full cover of The Kinks' 1966 classic, "Fancy," with ornate strings, daisy-age hip-hop percussion, sweeping synth touches, and Heasley channeling Ray Davies using a throwback vocal style that has made The Lilys one of the most respected purveyors of a modern take on '60s psychedelia. Side B is a complete instrumental reworking of the track by Nobody that brings to the forefront space rock elements of the original mix to create a drone-drenched masterpiece.

For those who love Nobody's Ubiquity outing, Pacific Drift, this 7-inch selection is a great continuation of the fusing of mod madness and downtempo slackness. Instead of tweaking with the Monkees' "Porpoise ZSong," this time he reworks "Fancy" by the Kinks. Kurt Heasley of the Lilys does his best Ray Davies, and it works, but flip the plate over for a space-rock instrumental version that will make you think you've taken mescaline in the desert with a dandy. - BPM
