Apr 23, 2021Brash, poetic, and romantically obtuse, even from the grave Alan Vega is as challenging as he is charming.
-
May 11, 2021A superhuman album celebratory to a soul very sad to have lost.
-
Apr 23, 2021‘Mutator’ is not an epitaph or vault-scraping footnote; it is a painful reminder that New York lost one of its important critical voices when Vega passed away in 2016.
-
UncutApr 27, 2021Bold, sunless and fabulously unsettling. [Jun 2021, p.47]
-
Dec 20, 2021The eight tracks here were intended as experiments in sound, and Vega shows almost no interest in conventional song structures or, for that matter, melody. Instead, he focuses on atmospherics, creating moods that are frequently disjointed, sometimes oppressive and often deeply charismatic.
-
Apr 29, 2021Easily as good as the music that he released when it was recorded, Mutator is an enticing first dive into the Vega vault that will whet fans' appetites for more.
-
Apr 23, 2021‘Mutator’ might well find favour with fans of his distant descendants like Squid, Perfume Genius, Sleaford Mods and Black Midi. A quarter of a century on, this lost rumble from post-punk vaults finds new context, as a lesson in uncompromising art from an old master.
