Man Made Hill - Delicious Logo [LP]

For listeners of: Prince, Wicked Witch, Severed Heads, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Ween, Cabaret Voltaire, Tonetta, Psychic Mirrors, Cicciolina, Hype Williams, Beau Wanzer, AOR Soundtracks This latest helping of delights from Randy Gagne’s freaky pop-funk personage finds a further deepening of his collaborative conjury with producer Jeremy Greenspan (Junior Boys, Jessy Lanza) alongside spicy contributions from Lolina (fka. Inga Copeland), Sexy Merlin, Allie Blumas and others Growing up in a distant region of Planet Ontario, young Randy Gagne found himself fascinated by a man-made hill running alongside a busy road, built to filter out the din of the local traffic. This hill, an organic but also strangely unnatural feature of the landscape, was the genesis of the project’s namesake, and it’s fertilized a rich creative terrain on which Gagne has ploughed 20+ DIY solo albums of lo-fi homegrown weirdness. Delicious Logo, the result of two years of close collaboration, marks Gagne’s second foray into a professional studio setting with Greenspan behind the mixing board. Building upon their 2022 joint effort, Mirage Repair (Orange Milk Records), this latest heap of miniature fantasies finds the pair widening their scope of sonic surveillance, and galvanizing their off-kilter pop sensibilities into a bewildering prismatic smorgasbord.
