Mixed Vege and the jammy post punk, experimental pop of "Won't Get Far" spins (Official Video)




















"two minute noodles"

Mixed Vege, the other alias of Goodshirt's Rodney Fisher delves into the jammy post punk onslaught of Won't Get Far. The bass lines feel rabid doubling down in proggy ways on top of the side stepping drum beat. Fisher's vox enhanced by feedback squeaking guitar, tight rhythms and subtle synths feel lush and dreamy. The musical breaks with psychedelic talky ambiance is rad. Won't Get Far exists as a hyper but truly pretty spinning top at only a wink over two minutes.  

'Won't Get Far' is the lead single from Mixed Vege's upcoming debut EP, Two Minute Noodles, a delicious 5-track concoction of whimsical emotions and genres that rush over the listener, pulling them along in a rip-tide of personal anecdotes. It is a mood.

Speaking of Two Minute Noodles Fisher says, “I really wanted to create something that was a journey from start to finish that reflected how I was feeling about life love and my creativity. I really let myself feel the direction of the songs in the moment, from letting loose on the guitar all the way through to sitting on a delicate piano note.”

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

Mixed Vege, the alias of Goodshirt’s Rodney Fisher is a direct reflection on the alt-pop/rock sensibilities that threw the band into the charts in the early noughties, with a personal flavour that can only be developed through delving deep into ones inner psyche. His artistic flair isn’t only unleashed through his self-produced music, but with the accompanying trip-dream videos he hand makes at night when everybody else is sleeping.

Speaking of Two Minute Noodles Fisher says, “I really wanted to create something that was a journey from start to finish that reflected how I was feeling about life love and my creativity. I really let myself feel the direction of the songs in the moment, from letting loose on the guitar all the way through to sitting on a delicate piano note.”

His featured collaborations with other artists such as newcomer Liana Burn and long time friend/band-mate Peter Thornley bring a fresh edge to Mixed Vege, allowing him to explore features of genre that usually would go untouched by Fisher (autotune anyone?) and set this body of work apart from any he has unveiled before.
