æStripped Off And Chairs AwayÆ is the
third album from Ian HodgsonÆs Moon
Wiring Club. Taking more of a
discernibly 80s bent than its
predecessors, this record shows Hodgson
getting far more in tune with his
percussion and low-end pressure. On
tracks such as æShape RitualÆ or æFoxy
MindÆ for example, synth-funk basslines
hop around chunky disco-influenced
beats, and while all the sounds are
obviously sampled from old TV programs
(still) thereÆs a sense that the music
is sidling ever closer to something you
could almost play at a club. This album
is the point where I think HodgsonÆs
vision started to cross over with the
hypnogogic pop dribbling from the USA.
That cassette-reared scene led by
Ducktails, James Ferraro and Ariel Pink,
which angled its fixations squarely at
the early 80s seems to permeate
HodgsonÆs vision (or possibly vice
versa) on tracks such as æTeacake TimeÆ
or æAncestors ApproachÆ, but Hodgson
does it with a stiff-lipped British
eccentricity that is hard not to fall in
love with. There is an air of the
classic Peter Serofinowicz TV comedy
æLook Around YouÆ or possibly even Chris
MorrisÆs æBlue JamÆ about Moon Wiring
Club, and æStripped Paint For The Last
PostÆ might just be the best example of
this curiously comic tinged brand of
hauntological pop.
