Mochipet “Bunnies & Muffins”

This music sounds exactly the way the jewel box looks. Synthy 16-bit tracks with occasional lyrics but a good time to be had by all. It’s not as upbeat as another combination, that being Ming & Ping, but that’s why the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was better than the NES, too.
“Oly” has a similar keyboard style as the metropolis theme from SimCity for the SNES. I can’t even tell that it’s more than five minutes long. It’s that good.
Naming an album “Bunnies & Muffins” implies a frenetic pace, both from rapidly bounding hares and sugar-encased bread, but it’s actually much more contemporary. This album is played on the way home from a night out, not on the way there. Other than “Anthem,” which you can play for your Joan Jett-fan friends, the songs are pretty low key.
“Memories” has nice samples at the beginning. It’s too distracting to serve as background music, but too dull to be the centerpiece of your social setting. I really don’t know what to do with this one. “Fool” has an Us3 feel to it, although it’s not nearly as funky.
“Do Geese See God” is a little faster and sounds like a Fantastic Plastic Machine song. “End of Summer Song” is my favorite, because it has the same bassline as “Who Needs Sleep?” by Barenaked Ladies.
