Momus: Hippopotamomus

Ted Kessler, Select, August 1991

MOMUS (AKA NICHOLAS CURRIE) is way, way out there. A wicked pop weasel whose poisoned Euro-pop fizzes with animal sex, human sex and cannibalism. His extraordinary voice cuts through his light electro­drizzle whispering dark, loathsome secrets you'd rather not know — like a diseased and disgraced Pet Shop Boys relocated to the Creation indie scene.

Total word count of piece: 199
