by Jay Gabler ⢠Mux Mool, the multitalented musician and producer, is a local
boy made good via Brooklyn and beyond: his 2010 album Skulltaste earned a 7.5
from Pitchfork. "For all his weirdo frontingâeccentric song titles, a

braggadocio as the only prominent lyrical contentâhis work transcends its mild
jokiness to reveal the adventurousness of a musical scholar." He'll be back in
the Twin Towns for a March 11 gig at the Entry, with kindred spirits Connie
Hawkins, Prhym8, and Ghostband, with Visionqueston visuals.
