Mentally Sound by Toxic Chicken
REVIEWS
“This wonderful album is an aural stroll through a strange forest as the sun goes down. Tracks that bewitch and amuse, entertain in equal measure.” – Monolith Cocktail review
“I would… defy someone to keep a bad mood after listening to this album. I have found the perfect cure for Mondayitis. Toxic Chicken has created something infectiously fun and wonderful.” – Dead Heretic review
ABOUT THE ALBUM
Is it not a bit… well, *odd* to put so much passion and effort into making non-commercial music? You know those strange sounds that some oddballs consider to be their "art"? Will there *ever* be a cure for homemade electronic music?
Toxic Chicken is the main solo project of the insanely prolific but always inventive multimedia artist Kai Nobuko, who told us a little about the ups and downs of creating 'Mentally Sound':
"This is a fun album, but it is also a bit dark at times. Until I had finished recording it, the music would be playing in my head non-stop. I couldn't sleep. It tormented me, yet also comforted me."
Artists who feel compelled to put themselves through such ordeals may rest assured that, one way or another, a cure for their creativity will one day arrive. In the meantime, we can be thankful for the eccentric and engaging sounds that result from their labours of lunacy. Enjoy 'Mentally Sound'—it would be crazy not to!
