Nick Currie's project spans industrial synth experiments, dancefloor hits, and decades of provocative lyrics.
For a quick sense of his tone, try 'Shaftesbury Avenue' or 'A Dull Documentary.' They're both from different eras, but the wit lands the same way.
Momus built a cult following on lyrics that could be as sharp as they were strange. The 1996 dance track 'Lord Of The Dance' became an international hit, but songs like 'Shaftesbury Avenue' and 'I Ate a Girl Right Up' show the darker, satirical edge running through his work. He's collaborated with experimental acts like Coil and Current 93, but the writing always stays distinctly his.
He started in the 1980s with raw, industrial-sounding albums like 'Circus Maximus.' The 1996 album 'The Little Red Songbook' brought a commercial breakthrough. Since then, he's released over thirty studio albums that shift between electronic, experimental, and indie pop.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
