THE MABUSES - MIRTH


ARTIST / BAND: THE MABUSES
SONG (MP3): MIRTH
ALBUM: Mabused
FILE UNDER: Pop / Indie / New Wave

INFO: The Mabuses is a band which formed in London in 1991 and released two albums to considerable critical acclaim. Led by the enigmatic Kim Fahy, the Mabuses offer music which mixes pop sensibilities with more esoteric concerns such as film and literature. The name "Mabuses" is a tribute to the Fritz Lang film trilogy about a master criminal called Dr. Mabuse. The sheer profusion of influences in their work made The Mabuses impossible to categorize. Lyrically and musically, the result of their output can only be best described as modern psychedelia.
