"I Luv Luv Birds- Mysteries of Magnetism"

I Luv Luv Birds is Marc Mozga's newest project with his girl, Holly Prindle. He plays stuff and she sings. It's indescribably great music. Although it's rooted in dub reggae a la The Mad Professor, there are elements of various modes of electronic music, including Cabaret Voltaire's early industrial, new styles 8-bit and glitch, and some sound collage aesthetics to keep it interesting. This is one bass-heavy, pulsing, psychedelic collection of music.

Ever read William Gibson's Neuromancer? This is the music that I imagine the Rasta space colony listened to. - Mr. Phreek's Anokist Emporium

(I Luv Luv Birds)
The Chicago duo of Marc Mozga and Holly Prindle exists entirely in a plane of its own. Starting from the core of dub reggae mixed with lo-fi glitch electronica that characterized their earliest work, they’ve expanded their sound to include melodic indie pop, mournful r&b and even a tad of punk rock so that the songs are slightly more accessible but no less enigmatic. Ultimately, this strange cocktail comes across like a cross between Adrian Sherwood’s Dub Syndicate and Portishead, especially in the interplay between Holly’s tortured angelic vocals and Marc’s bass-heavy psychedelic explorations. It’s truly refreshing to hear music as adventurous and unique as this, and I’m eager for the next release and its uncharted musical journeys. - The Big Takeover

Bio

I Luv Luv Birds formed in 2005. Rudimentary cassettes were made in our storefront apartment under various monikers until Holly's mom said one day "Oh I love love birds". It seemed like a good name at the time. Were we drunk? No. It was spring time.

Growing up I played taps for WWII veterans' funerals in Minnesota. One cold, clear January day as I waited off in the distance for the preacher's cue the valves on my trumpet froze up. Terrified that I was going to ruin this man's funeral I panicked and smashed the trumpet against a tombstone and got the wrong valve half down. When the preacher gave me the cue I put that horn to my lips not knowing what sound would come out. Those taps were all wrong but I played the shit out of them. No one minded, they just wanted some melancholy off in the distance. That day I felt a connection to the soul of man.

We're influenced by home recordists, haiku, real punk - Crass, Minutemen, Fugazi - and dub reggae - Linval Thompson, Mikey Dread, African Head Charge; Though we sound nothing like those people. We began playing live last year and are currently working on songs for a new EP. Thanks for listening if you do.
