We’ve been eagerly waiting to hear new material from Oakland based outfit Mwahaha since their outstanding self-titled debut album came out. First self-released in 2011 and reissued last year through Plug Research, Mwahaha remains an absolute all-time favourite record well into this year.
They have been busy preparing its follow-up and finally we can rejoice, for they have just shared a colossal new instrumental track called ‘Wine Cooler’. A sonic wonderland, ‘Wine Cooler’ is gentle but powerful, dark but scintillating, delving into psychedelic krautrock territories full of melodic synth washes reminiscent of German electronic pioneers Kraftwerk. Drop what you’re doing and give it a listen now!
It’s great to see Mwahaha here. Their first album was so excellent, and they deserve more attention!
