Mewgatz's debut release 'Underfelt' is delicate yet damaging electronica of the highest order. Constructed around the brain of a £3 Yamaha keyboard and an 80's keytar, it’s dark and harrowing basement pop. Paying homage to his fascination with original keyboard presets and demo songs, Mewgatz fuses glitching preset bossanova beats with delicate guitar chord progressions and tender untrained vocals, schizophrenically remixing popular contemporary tracks until they’re bent out of all recognition. These are lo-fidelity electronic ballads drenched in raw, passionate, and vulnerable emotion.
With soldering-iron raised firmly towards the heavens Mewgatz is on a quest for melodic chaos, to find that fleeting moment in the void between human fragility and robotic malfunction were unpredictability and stability collide.
