Momus is the artist name of Nick Currie, a Scotsman currently living in Japan. For over twenty years he’s been releasing albums of weird and poignant songs in a dizzying array of styles on independent labels like 4AD, el and Creation. He is one of underground music’s most controversial and influential provocateurs: from his early days with the Happy Familyin the 1980s through his digital troubadour incarnations of the 2000s, Currie has lent his style to Pulp, Beck, the Divine Comedy, and others while remaining fiercely political and uncompromising in his artistic vision.
‘Nick Currie’s musical career now looks like a long detour on his way to his destiny as discreetly subversive international Man Of Letters’ – Uncut
‘It’s a 21st century lounge music, which draws all manner of material into its studied insouciance: 1980s electronica (Sylvian & Sakamoto’s 1982 masterpiece Bamboo Music is referenced on Bubble Music); post-punk (the album includes a cover ofJosef K‘s Adoration); Everything Stops For Tea-style pre-war skit-pop (as used on Is There Sex In Marriage?). The highlight is Datapanik, a sardonically tender meditation on how a computer crash now means the loss of irretrievable memory objects’ – Mark Fisher, The Wire
Momus also performs as ‘the unreliable tour guide‘, giving absurdist tours of museums around the world. He’s published three books, a novel told entirely through jokes and two books imagining parallel futures for Scotland and Japan. His live shows are vaudevillian and unmissable.
