Planet Mu present the second album by Manchester’s Mrs Jynx aka Hannah Davidson. The deceptively intelligent ‘Shark Carousel’ builds on the early ’90s electronic influenced sound of Jynx’s debut. There’s a little more emphasis on lower frequencies and slightly more upbeat arrangements, but all the femininity, sensitivity and joy that made 2008’s ‘The Standoffish Cat’ so endearing are intact. Traces of big beat, break beat and even old school drum & bass influences can be heard prominently throughout the record, while her programming has advanced in complexity and richness. ‘Shark Carousel’ carves off a corner of the electronic realm that is clearly Mrs Jynx’s.
