Perfect service (Modex rmx)

Animated skeletons

Love is breaking me

Perfect service
The waitress is delicious but she’s looking sad
I cannot escape from things like that

Now or never
If u really love me tell me something clever
I can tell by your eyes when you lie

Hold me tighter,
I need to feel your warmth to keep my heart beating
I will turn the lights on
Are you feeling fine?

Perfect service
The waitress is delicious but she’s feeling lonely
I can feel the distance in her smile

Only on a special day, I can break the gap between our lies
On a hopeless day, castaway I turn inside my mind

Are you looking for a perfect service ???

Perfect service

Come on everybody
Come on everybody
Come on everybody                 
Come on….

Come on everybody
Come on and move your body
Come on everybody
Come on…. Come on…. Come on….. come on….

These are the days to sow
the time to glow has just begun

Come on everybody
Come on everybody
Come on everybody
Come on everybody
Come on… 

Everybody, give your body to the music
When you give yourself it’s a brand-new day, yeah!
Everybody, give your body to the music
When you give yourself it’s a brand-new day

Hello radio!
Hello butter and toasts!
Hello breaking news!
Yellow morning lines! 

Everybody, give your body to the music
When you give yourself it’s a brand-new day, Yeah!
Everybody, give your body to the music
When you give yourself it’s a brand-new day, come on

C'mon everybody

I made myself into a common guy
With normal friends,
To have a common life
And now it seems to be so overwhelming
It’s been some time I know I got it coming   


And then the strength of living came back to me
I fell away from every philosophy
I realized I won’t be everlasting
Just have a look, you will find
nothing but this 

Oh! Honey, Honey!        
Don’t you ask me for money,money,money,money, Honey, Honey!

Nothing but this

I wanna be alone
Alone with my thoughts
Wanna be alone at home,    	
alone with my thoughts
Smoking big cigars
Looking like a bum
I wanna be alone at home,
Alone with my thoughts

I wanna be alone
Alone with my thoughts
Wanna be alone at home,
alone with my thoughts
Playing my guitar
Feeding all my cats
I wanna be alone at home,
Alone with my thoughts

Come with me to the sugar tree
It’s a happy place where sugar’s free
Come with me to the sugar tree
Don’t wanna be alone. Oh!
Come with me to the sugar tree
It’s a happy place where sugar’s free
Come with me to the sugar tree
It’s a happy place, c’mon !!!







Are you really alone?
(Arthur’s maze)
Get your stuff off my lawn 
You’re not welcome anymore
Leave me the scotch
So you say you’re alone
You’re just a spoiled boy
Take your charts and your songs
You’re not welcome anymore
(Arthur’s maze)

I don’t know if you heard me
But there is something you must know
I will tell you once
And I will tell you twice
I don’t want you on my block

‘Cause I have been my whole life here
Standing on this corner alone
I’m the one who rules here
I don’t want your nose near
I don’t want you on my block
(I don’t want you on my block!)

Like everybody here you are heating your anger
With your mobile phone you are cooking your balls
And all your moves and your violent reactions
Are just a cause of what you’re living up to

And you may say you are doin’ OK
But you don’t know what is coming up next
You better run to preserve your own health
You’ll find a place to be safe from the rain

Well, I don’t know where you come from
And I don’t know who you are
But I will tell you once and I may tell you twice that 
I don’t want you on my block

Cause I don’t know why you’re here
And I don’t care if you’re alone
I’m the one who rules here
I don’t want your nose near
I don’t want you on my block
(I don’t want you on my block)

(No! No! No!)


As I walk out of the city		
I can see the people coming in
How wonderful to watch all those faces
Full of hope

Here comes Arthur Maze
Smiling on a rainy day
and he’s walking straight to you
so, come on, don’t be a shy boy
open up your eyes
focus your mind
show your white teeth
give a smile to Arthur Maze!


Sure you’re gonna find a better place
(maze, maze, Arthurs maze!)

MOMPOX se forma en Buenos Aires en el verano de 2008 con una propuesta en mente: crear una banda conformada por varios cantantes-compositores en la que conviva la búsqueda compositiva y arreglística del pop norteamericano de los 50’s y la psicodelia de los 60’s junto a la experimentación sonora actual. En el verano de 2009, luego de componer una veintena de temas,  comienzan a grabar su primer disco en distintos estudios de Buenos Aires (Panda, El Pie, Mandarina) con la participación de más de veinte músicos invitados. “Mompox & The Big Umbrella”, el resultado de esas sesiones de grabación, se edita en enero de 2010 de forma independiente. El disco cruza y amalgama múltiples sonoridades e influencias. Así se llegan a interpretar géneros como rock y psicodelia, folk, pop orquestal, rockabilly, bolero... Durante 2010 el disco es presentado en vivo en Buenos Aires y la primera edición de mil copias se agota en diciembre. Ese mismo mes estrenan en Muchmusic el video-clip del primer corte de difusión, “So mad”, dirigido por Federico Lamas, que estuvo en rotación durante el verano de 2011. 
En mayo de 2011 MOMPOX entra en los míticos estudios ION de Buenos Aires a grabar el sucesor de “The Big Umbrella”. En noviembre del mismo año sale a la luz ▲.  En este nuevo lanzamiento, Mompox presenta un trabajo compacto y complejo a base de synth rock, con buenas dosis de pop y psicodelia bailable. Nos encontramos con una banda que deja de lado el formato predominantemente acústico de su primer álbum para explorar el mundo de los  sintetizadores y las viejas máquinas de ritmos. En esta búsqueda, logran desarrollar su costado más eléctrico y electrónico. 
“Perfect Service”, primer corte de difusión de ▲, comienza a rotar por las radios en Diciembre. El video-clip del tema (estrenado en MuchMusic en febrero de 2012) es dirigido por Dr. Sepian y producido por Wunderka y traslada al plano visual la psicodelia sonora que Mompox propone en su nuevo disco. 
Grabado en ION y en La Siesta del Fauno, el estudio de Ernesto Romeo (Klauss), ▲ contiene trece  canciones donde la banda sigue desarrollando un particular estilo que mixtura la música pop y rock de los 50's y 60's con un revestimiento sonoro moderno. Una estética que podría sugerir la improbable cruza entre Buddy Holly y Kraftwerk, Donovan y Gorillaz o Roy Orbison y el primer New Order. 
En su corta pero intensa trayectoria, MOMPOX ha tocado en Buenos Aires en Niceto Club, La Trastienda, Ciudad Cultural Konex, Groove, Crobar, Roxy, Teatro Margarita Xirgu, Salón Real, Café Vinilo, entre otros, y ha compartido escenario con bandas como The Ting Tings (UK) (con quienes encabezaron el Buenos Aires Sounds Fest), Astro (CHL), Nairobi, Morbo y Mambo, Las Kellies, Cosmo y Betty Confetti, entre otros. En mayo de 2012 emprenden su primera gira por México de la mano de Forastero Producciones, participando del Festival Marvin 2012, donde tocan con bandas como Atlas Sound (US), Crocodiles (US) y Nortec Collective (MEX). Entre mayo y principios de junio realizan diez shows en las ciudades de Toluca, D.F., Cholula, Satélite y Guadalajara, tocando en lugares como Pasagüero, Foro 246, Caradura, Pata Negra, Film Club Café y Foro Landó, entre otros. Luego de la gira, son fichados por el sello Discos Intolerancia.
De vuelta en Buenos Aires, participan en junio del Festival Ciudad Emergente 2012, compartiendo escenario con Bomba Estéreo (COL), Dorian (ESP) y Daniel Melero, entre otros, y son elegidos para abrir el show de la banda australiana Tame Impala el 18 de agosto en Niceto Club. 
En marzo de 2013 viajan a Estados Unidos para participar del festival SXSW en Austin, Texas, presentándose primero junto a Franny Glass (Uruguay) y Emicida (Brasil) en The Whiskey Room y luego junto a sus compatriotas de Él Mató a Un Policía Motorizado y Les Mentettes en el showcase oficial del MICA, “Sounds from Argentina”. Luego viajan a México por segunda vez para participar del festival Vive Latino, donde comparten fecha con Blur y Tame Impala, entre otros, y realizar una serie de shows en D.F. y alrededores con motivo de promocionar la edición mexicana de ▲, lanzado en marzo a través de Discos Intolerancia.

MOMPOX begins in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the summer of 2008 with an objective in mind: to create a band of several singer-songwriters in which 50's American pop and 60's psychedelic composition and arrangement styles mix with modern sound experimentation. In the summer of 2009, they begin to record their first album in various studios of Buenos Aires (Panda, El Pie, Mandarina) with the participation of over twenty guest musicians. "Mompox & The Big Umbrella" is released in January 2010 independently.  The album crosses and amalgam multiple sounds and influences. We can hear styles like psychedelic rock, folk, orchestral pop, rockabilly… During 2010, the album is performed live in Buenos Aires and the first edition of a thousand copies is sold out in December. That same month, the video clip for the first single, "So mad," directed by Federico Lamas, premiers on Muchmusic and is continuously aired during the summer of 2011.

In May 2011, MOMPOX enters the mythical ION studio of Buenos Aires with the aim of recording the successor to "The Big Umbrella". In November, ▲ is released through PBK Music. The band consolidates its sound with a compact and complex synth-based rock sound, with a good dose of psychedelic and danceable pop. In this new record, Mompox leaves aside the predominantly acoustic format of their first album to explore the world of analog synths and old drum machines, developing the most electric and electronic side of the band.

Recorded in ION and La Siesta del Fauno, the studio of Ernesto Romeo (Klauss), ▲ includes thirteen songs in which the band continues to develop a unique style that mixes pop music from the 50's and 60's with hi-fi and experimental modern sounds. An aesthetic that could suggest an unlikely cross between Buddy Holly and Kraftwerk, Gorillaz and Donovan or Roy Orbison and the first New Order.

In its short but intense career, MOMPOX has played in various venues of Buenos Aires such as Niceto Club, La Trastienda, Ciudad Cultural Konex, Groove, Crobar, Roxy, Margarita Xirgu Theatre, Salón Real and Café Vinilo, among others. They have played with bands like Tame Impala, The Ting Tings (U.K.) (headlining the Buenos Aires Sounds Fest 2012), Astro (CHL), Él Mató a Un Policía Motorizado, Nairobi, Morbo y Mambo, Las Kellies, Les Mentettes, Michael Mike, Cosmo and Yataians.

In May 2012 they participate in Marvin Festival 2012, one of the most important music festivals in Mexico, sharing the stage with bands like Atlas Sound (U.S.), Nortec Collective (MX), Crocodiles (U.S.), Silverio (MX) and The Boxer Rebellion (U.K.). After the success of the tour, they’re signed by indie record label Discos Intolerancia. The Mexican edition of ▲ was released and presented in March 2013, during the second international tour of the band, that included a show in Vive Latino Festival in México City, two gigs in SXSW Festival (Austin, Texas) and more than 10 shows in D.F. and in the cities of Toluca, Cholula and Satélite.
