Siriusmo is Moritz Friedrich, Berlin-based producer, remixer and performer who has positioned himself over the past couple years into a bonafide auteur of revisionist electro-funk and disco—the kind that appeared right at the end of disco's reign and might have been sampled early on in hip hop by the likes of Grandmaster Flash. Released 01.15.2008
Plants and Animals Parc Avenue (Secret City; 2008)
Plants and Animals’ For/Avec EP has at least one surefire moment where one’s eyebrows find their hairline: when the listener realizes that three white dudes are covering a Nina Simone civil rights narrative. Parc Avenue often strays too far into excess and departure for departure’s sake to enjoy the brand of a songwriter’s tour-de-force. “Faerie Dance,” “New Kind of Love,” and “Guru” all stray close to or north of seven minutes, often crashing through multiple songwriting ideas before settling on a coda. But as a fully realized and lovingly sculpted aesthetic, there may be few stronger full-length debuts waiting in this year’s wings.
