Seriously, has anyone been more prolific than Momus (Nick Currie, originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, and now currently based in Berlin). I feel like I own a lot of Momus, and I probably own less than 20% of his recorded output. I just looked on Discogs and I count 36 full length releases since 1986. And before that Currie recorded an album as The Happy Family (with 3 members of Josef K).
"Yikes" is available from American Patchwork as a double CD. The other CD ("20 Frisky Whiskies") is a "compilation of remakes, outtakes and misshapes from the last decade or so of Momus."
At this point it's safe to say that Momus sounds like Momus. But if you separate yourself from this obvious statement you can hear echoes of David Bowie, Roxy Music, The High Llamas and The Divine Comedy.
You can buy this 2 CD from Darla Records.
