Prefix Mag Review
Like fellow Icelander Bjork, the self-taught singer/songwriter Mugison is all over the musical map, channeling a childhood spent isolated from popular music into a musical vernacular that is solely his own.
Mugison’s first two albums, 2003’s Lonely Mountain and 2005’s Mugimama: Is This Monkey Music? ran the gamut from screeching electronic noise to ballads syrupy enough to bring irony into the conversation. Whatever the intent, those two releases established him as a genuine star in his native Iceland, and something of a musical curiosity in the United States. Mugiboogie offers more of Mugison’s idiosyncratic take on pop music, this time filtered through the lens of a more traditional rock sensibility.
