Smellville and Smellody EP

by MOULE

supported by

Lethargic Goat Slow, chill, vibes emanate from the aromatherapy store. Relax and take in the smells, and sounds from these two. Of the two, I picked Smellody because the slow wubs added some extra build up on the beat I appreciated! Favorite track: Smellody.

Smellville and Smellody merch:

This EP concludes my early 2023 "skunk-a-thon" as I develop the characters in the "MOULE world" - this time Melville and Melody - one track at a time!

This EP's tracks take place simultaneously, after the events of my previous release Hoodie Rave (moule.bandcamp.com/track/hoodie-rave). Melville and Melody have finished setting up their aromatherapy store, called Smellville. Being a skunk, Melville was teased in school with bad skunk stereotypes and called "Smellville" as an insult, but he's taken the name back for his own anti-stink store!

(For more info about the events BEFORE Hoodie Rave and Cried, check this out: mastodon.moule.world/@MOULE/109898546781646856)

Unlike most aromatherapy stores, you can get some oddly-specific smells you won't find anywhere else, such as the smell of freshly-cut grass, petrichor, new car smell, and newly-opened boxes! Sitting on her favourite beanbag, Melody, Melville's new girlfriend, adopts the name "Smellody" and integrates speakers in air diffusers that spray certain smells in timing to her guitar chord progressions, inviting everyone to smell her music as well as hear it.

As for the origins of the tracks themselves, they were made nearly a decade ago back when I started out making music.

• Smellville was created on January 7, 2016 as "Crystal", and was meant to be the successor to Indigo, back when I was reading about the new-age concept of "indigo" and "crystal" children. It was finished sometime in 2018 as an over-10-minutes-long track, later remastered and shortened to 5:45 minutes in March 2023. It is my 72nd finished track and 85th track release.

• Smellody was created on October 10, 2015 and finished shortly after, making this my 2nd ever finished track, between Panthalassa and Indigo. It was originally called "Strange Things". It was meant to be the precursor to another track called "Stranger Things" (NOT related to the TV show), which ended up becoming Island within an Island: moule.bandcamp.com/track/island-within-an-island. It too was remastered in March 2023 and is my 86th track release.

Hatansion
by DJ Omnimaga

DJ Omnimaga brilliantly captured the charm of old-school happy hardcore vibes in this album, especially in Rave Maelstrom 2022 which reminds me of early 2000s rave music! MOULE

Critical Mass
by Spidercat

I LOVE the juxtaposition of animals in a spaceship expedition gone hilariously wrong, and I also love how its cover art features a badger in a pink spacesuit! MOULE

Spirits – Single
by Schall und Stille

An absolutely enchanting, beautifully-sung and composed song that I heard in Fedivision 2023. The opening melodies and later guitar riffs are stunning! Definitely worth a listen! MOULE
