Mudboy - Eno Trouble/Midiwards/Happy Birthday Song
Goaty Tapes
"Eno Trouble/Midiwards" has wheezing and winter winds and witchy whirling in the background and in the foreground there's plinking melodies like something from an 8-bit video game. But not from when you're battling a grotesque, knuckle-dragging boss or from when you've achieved a sword-thrusting victory, but from when you're just puttering around, collecting hearts and keys and coins, and your little sister is watching and is like, "This is it? This is the game? This is so boring."
But it was the "Happy Birthday Song" that really buttered my toast. While listening, there was a point when I began to wonder if this song occupies the space where music exists and where music doesn't exist. So it's like music/not-music; if you were completely unaware of the entire concept of music and heard this song, you would come away with an idea of what music is, but at the same time, have zero idea what music is. The song's pulse and throb also got me to thinking about those ancient, black-and-white science videos of blood trickling and rushing through capillaries. YouTube it.
