M’Grasker is… an experience. From what I can determine, they’re a Canadian four piece and their newest single is “Spectrephilia.” I literally had no idea what I was getting into (but happy that I did). Just to give you an idea (keep in mind, this is from the band):
“Human terminology might define M’Grasker as a ‘band,’ however they would be more accurately described as Biological Property of M’Graskorp Unlimited Enterprises and Subsidiaries of the GlanGlan Group.”
I love the vibe, as it definitely translates to the music as well – “Spectrephilia” goes alllll over the place and it’s glorious. The lowkey guitar (sounds like a Rickenbacker) intro builds up and then it gets zany with a couple tempo changes. As far as a sound the best I could do is say that it’s high brow pop, in line with bands like The Mountain Goats or Ludo, with a tinge of post-punk neuroses. To sum it up, I’m gonna borrow another line from the band’s social media:
“Who cares? It’s Definitely cool.”
