Despite being accused as anti-human, repetitive, soulless, whatever, electronic music attracts the more devoted of idealists-the vinyl purist, the underground hero, the anonymous producer, etc. For Mux Mool, known to the government as Brian Lindgren, all his music connects to a certain outlook on life-basically, that the pre-established trajectory for adult life is being completely reimagined. Planet High School certainly sounds different than SKULLTASTE, Mux Mool's Ghostly debut from 2010. It's funkier, more confident, and more comfortable. It sounds less like someone trying to prove a point by arguing and more like someone trying to prove a point by just being who they are. It's leading by example, sonically speaking. Songs like the delirious jazz rumble of "The Butterfly Technique" and "Live At 7-11"-which, by the way, resembles golden-era G-funk as filtered through an abused video game console and old breakbeat records-see Mux Mool enjoying the perch from which he sits. He knows what he's good at, and the confidence shows. And there's still some of that familiar, manic, video gameesque stutter in the album's second half, specifically on synapse-tingling beat binges like "Cash 4 Gold" and "Get Yer Alphabets (Guns)." Mux Mool's new view on life might be one of unassuming simplicity, but he still appreciates messing with your brain.
