MP3: Michael Johnson
Gold shoes. Olympic medals. Rigid, upright sprinting style. Producer of obsessively-crafted, pastoral electronica? Well, no actually. This is a post for the other Michael Johnson, the one who helms the kit for Sub Pop's Holopaw and moonlights as a director of the traveling game show/staring competition Staremaster. Johnson has a full-length album out, Nonsense Goes Mudslide, on must!delicious records and you can check out a video from that album for "Nowhere (That Whore)" here. He dabbles in a handful of electronic styles, all the while forgoing the passivity of Holopaw in favor of the unexpected electronic jab. On the edge of collapse, Johnson's compositions are built with just enough stability to stand tall when the mudslide rolls in. Check them.
