His Name Is Alive’s final record on 4AD
Mixed by the artist
The band's most diverse yet accessible catalog entry

Description

His Name Is Alive’s final record on 4AD, Mouth By Mouth was the first where the band controlled all processes including mixing, saw a marked shift; their most diverse, yet accessible catalog entry. The project’s soaring growth over time allowed Defever to employ an extraordinarily adventurous approach to the record’s sound and vision, indulging his love for all kinds of music, be it tastes of looped dub, sugar-sweet 1960s pop, distortion-laden dream-gaze, evocative alt-noise or strummy folk. Embracing the surreal and turning their experimentalism up a notch and with Defever’s studio skills truly blossoming, many see this as a high point for the band.

“Like a DIY cocktail of My Bloody Valentine’s dreamy noise and the wee-hours arthouse sigh of fellow 4AD’ers This Mortal Coil, [Mouth By Mouth] generates a tremolo- and fuzz-laden frenzy underscoring Defever’s debt to ‘60s garage psych.” - Bandcamp Daily
