Discover the enchanting Life of Mammals, the second album from the eclectic New York duo Museum of Love, consisting of Pat Mahoney and Dennis McNany. This album stands out as one of the best art rock albums of 2021, offering a dizzying blend of chaotic art rock and infectious dance music.
Listening to it is like navigating through a surreal house party, drawing you from one immersive room to another. It feels as if you’re caught in a time warp between the late ’70s Berlin soundscape and the vibrant energy of early ’80s Compass Point. The celestial melodies, oscillating rhythms, and deep basslines create an irresistible atmosphere.
While you might recognize hints of Roxy Music, DAF, and DFA, the album delivers a unique auditory experience, especially with Mahoney’s dreamy lyrics inspired by Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies. The album, recorded during Mahoney’s LCD Soundsystem tours, showcases guest appearances from Peter Gordon and Matt Shaw, adding depth to its eclectic sound. Notable singles include Cluttered World, Marching Orders, and Army of Children.
