about

Milk Factory:

Feeding on a cocktail of folk, lo-fi and pop, Where Has It Gone… is as rich and vibrant as its cover suggests. Part Sufjan Stevens, part Matt Elliott, part Jules Verne, Misophone splash blotches of colour over their often surrealist pop songs, making their universe is as unpredictable as it is delightful. Delicately crafted melodies hang gracefully over beautifully detailed instrumentations, crisscrossed with influences coming from England, the American mid-West and Eastern Europe to produce scintillating human tales cast in catchy little numbers. At times vaguely reminiscent of a less effervescent Band Of Holy Joy or a less ethnic Beirut, Misophone display an incredible finesse for rich orchestral arrangements and superb flair for melodies, overlaid with Welsh’s subtle lyrics. White Waves, Nothing Down There But Trees and Deluded And Obscene capture the imagination in no time and never let go, placing the many angles of the pair’s oblique pop well into focus right from the start. Their cover of Daniel Johnston’s You Can’t Break A Broken Heartproves a fitting tribute to one of their heroes, and later, the wonderful The Sea Has Spoken, with its many twists and turns, or the melancholic and dreamy Tired Of Silly Dreamscontinue to cast an unusual shadow over this record. In between, the pastoral Turning Hay In The Fields comes dressed in full traditional Hungarian folklore, while Misophone apply generous helpings of folk and modern pop on Petroleum Lampa and turn it into something of an oddity, even in the context of this album.

Where Has It Gone… is an unexpected pleasure trail while constantly tease the senses and leads to a variety of enchanted places. In just forty minutes, Misophone create a musical universe which is unlike pretty much anything else on the current British musical landscape, and deliver a mighty fine record indeed.
