MUDVILLE's "The Hero of the World" live @ PS1/MOMA, Queens
with contortionist Tara Quinn

clip from the film Slutty Summer
featuring "Sunshine Is On Me"

 

Behold, the critics have spoken:

"At times, Iris Nova sounds like a perfect melding, as if Nina Simone came back from the dead to front Morcheeba on a new record."

- RHAPSODY RHADISH

"The roll call of guest musicians (on Iris Nova) is testament to the immense respect that bassist Benny “Cha Cha” Rubin and singer Marilyn Carino carry in the underground musician-scene in New York City. The duo weave fearless vocals with churning rhythms and smoking arrangements.

“Wonder Boy”‚ allows Marilyn Carino to deliver the vocal performance of a lifetime, powerful to the point of bringing you to tears. It’s a song that can rank alongside major-league acts like Radiohead, U2 or even REM for that matter. Indeed, should this stylistically and instrumentally diverse record get the initial traction on the net, it might go on to achieve similar status. For those who are getting increasingly impatient waiting on the long awaited third album from Portishead, you need to download this now. "

- STRAIGHT NO CHASER

"Marilyn Carino's quirky wail on 'Hero of the World' is plenty spirited" (Neil Drumming)

- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"Smoldering like the remnants of a fire, or maybe the beginnings of what will become a blistering blaze, (the twelve tracks on Iris Nova are) a musical force… Singer Marilyn Carino and producer Benny Cha Cha coax songs with a slow burn into well-fueled flames that produce considerable amounts of heat. Adding interest to Carino and Cha Cha’s chemistry are lyrics that are ethereal, quirky, and questioning, complementing the evocative production with ease. “Brooklyn” is a funk-rock romp that comes close to matching the grit and eclecticism of the borough of its title. The genre-blending that some musicians work so hard to achieve here seems effortless, genuine, and unique."

- OKAYPLAYER.COM

"Mudville's debut LP, The Glory of Man Is Not in Vogue, snakes through esoteric rhythms and beats care of Rubin and soars with the whiskey sour illustrative harmonies of Carino. Unmistakable hits such as the opening track "Hero of the World" and the twangy early morning fog of "Surfer Girls" make Mudville an enchanting listen. The Glory of Man is not in Vogue is a testament to the healing powers of rhythm and should not go undiscovered."

- NYLON

"Marilyn Carino sings about troubled longings and bleak surreal visions, while Ben Rubin surrounds her melancholy voice with brooding, minor-key tracks that start with electric piano and venture into smoky, ominous lounge territory, somewhere between Fiona Apple and Morcheeba." (Jon Pareles)

- NEW YORK TIMES

"There's post-rock, post-punk, and now, post-trip-hop. In the hands of the smoldering vocalist Marilyn Carino and the producer, bassist, and multi-instrumentalist Ben Rubin, down-tempo beats, haunted-matinée-style organ playing, and electronic flourishes coalesce into something familiar yet wholly unique." (John Donohue)

- THE NEW YORKER

"Mudville features Marilyn Carino's sultry vocals pouring out poetic lyrics filled with imagery... (with) an other-worldly blues-jazz feel you'd hear in a lounge or in a Jim Jarmusch film." (Mary Huhn)

- NEW YORK POST

MUDVILLE reaches ever more stirring and soulful musical heights with their fourth release, Iris Nova. This meticulously crafted album features collaborations with an eclectic array of great artists.

The new album from songwriter/vocalist Marilyn Carino and producer/instrumentalist Benny Cha Cha, Iris Nova furthers the retro-futuristic excursions of 2005’s acclaimed The Glory of Man is Not in Vogue (hailed by Nylon as “enchanting…a testament to the healing powers of rhythm” and called “poetic” and “other-worldly” by the New York Post). With eleven original tunes plus a cover of The Police’s “Spirits in the Material World,” Mudville seamlessly blends old-school soul and hip-hop grooves with a jazz sensibility, electronica flourishes, dub and live orchestral arrangements. The songs on Iris Nova paint captivating portraits of spiritual ambivalence, anguish and liberation, all on a palette of juicy grooves.

Mudville's 2005 full-length album, The Glory of Man Is Not In Vogue, was released world-wide. Tracks from that record have been heard on over 150 US and Canadian radio stations including KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, the NPR programs Morning Edition and Studio 360 as well as in the feature film Slutty Summer and on the Gemini Award-winning Canadian TV show ReGenesis.

On stage, Mudville's powerful live show includes drummer John Bollinger (Antony and the Johnsons) and keyboardist/guitarist Brian Charette (Chaka Kahn, Joni Mitchell, Cyndi Lauper). They have recently shared stages with Talib Kweli and Mos Def (Black Star), Brazilian Girls, Large Professor, Wilco, Tina Dico (Zero 7), and comedian David Cross.

Producer/bassist Ben Rubin (aka Benny Cha Cha) who has remixed tracks for Wu-Tang Clan's Killah Priest, Brazilian Girls, Karsh Kale, Marshall Crenshaw and others, skillfully combines fresh production (beats, samples, synths) with old-school instruments (double bass, Hammond B3 organ, whole orchestras) to create earthy, idiosyncratic music that spotlights songwriter/vocalist Marilyn Carino's keen prose and expansive wail. With "serious chops" (Time Out New York) and comparisons to Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone and Annie Lennox, Carino (who has also loaned her strange, fearless voice to projects produced by Billy Talbot of Neil Young and Crazy Horse and Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare) plays muse to Rubin's unsettling yet compelling blend of churning rhythms and lush symphonic arrangements.

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.

"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny


"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman


"Great stuff." -Buzz Magazine
