Sorry for my relative quietness lately – my girlfriend’s been staying, and she’s very attractive. I’m fully focused now though, so let’s consider MidiMidis, aka London duo Ant Struselis and Marcus Fairley. Are they London’s answer to MGMT (two strange-os making fiercely intelligent, bedroom-based electro pop)? No. MidiMidis are a bit less grandiose than their famous fellow twosome. But their songs are just as appealing: as sugary as candy-floss and as innocent-brackets-fucked-up as Alice in Wonderland. Throw in Super Mario electronica sounds and a unexpected gravelly, punkish male voice and you’ve got a winning cocktail of confusion. Much more in this interview with the excellent A New Band A Day site.
MidiMidis current single, There’s Just Too Much Going On Upstairs For Me To Feel Truly Comfortable With Myself, the enemy of word-counts up and down the land, comes with a viral-buzz video (above), wherein Struselis and Fairley get themselves Tangoed before bemusing rampaging around London with balloons and a children’s bike. Well worth a watch.
