James Alexander Bright & Flying Mojito Bros - Mirage In The Mojave

The story goes that !K7 regular James Alexander Bright and his manager were blown away by a Flying Mojito Bros set at Glastonbury and, as a result, handed the American duo six of his tracks with a view to infusing them with some of their magic disco dust. Before that, though, the album opens with a brand new track created collaboratively: ‘Let’s Get Lost’, which sounds a bit like Hot Chip wandering around the New Mexican desert fired up on Mezcal and party smarties. Elsewhere, with Bright’s indie-soul vocals sitting atop backings that are one part west coast country rock to one part disco, the album’s overall effect isn’t dissimilar to the Phenomenal Handclap Band, but perhaps a little less 70s-rooted and with more contemporary pop appeal.
