#MYSTERY SKULLS MUSIC SERIES#

I had been making a series of EPs and giving music away online. LD: For the record it kind of spanned a few years. All of that really helped to influence the sound you hear on the record.ДЄP: What was your songwriting process for the album? As far as overall 80s influences, though, I love Zapp & Roger, Lionel Richie, Commodore, Prince and 80s Michael Jackson. I think when I was making the record I wasnвЂ™t really listening to a ton of music, just focusing on making the record. Were you looking to any specific artists as influences?

We chatted with him in advance of his show tonight at Brighton Music Hall about songwriting, anime and, of course, working with Nile Rodgers.ДЄllston Pudding: Forever has a great throwback vibe to 80s synth sounds. His lively take on familiar sounds has courted him both plenty of fans and interest from fellow artists, with Mystery SkullsвЂ™ debut album Forever featuring guest appearances from Brandy, Snowblood and, impressively, Nile Rodgers of Chic and вЂњGet LuckyвЂќ fame.Дubuc has been spending the year touring the album worldwide and is currently in the middle of a string of East Coast dates. Since the release of the projectвЂ™s self-titled EP in 2011, Dubuc has been churning out reliably groovy pop songs tinged with an electrohouse edge and brought to life by his own R&B vocals. Mystery Skulls is the pseudonym of former The Secret Handshake artist Luis Dubuc. Those looking to keep the party going would do well to add Mystery Skulls to a playlist or two. With excellent recent releases from Hot Chip, Passion Pit, Twin Shadow and Shamir, as well as the incredibly promising debut of Skylar Spence around the corner, the past year has been great for anyone looking to dance like itвЂ™s the 80s. Of late, synthpop fans have hardly been starved for good material.
