New De De Mouse: “Milkyway Planet”

All the trademark sounds are right there on De De Mouse’s latest song “Milkyway Planet.” The keyboards sparkle, and his thinly sliced vocals are as fast as they’ve ever been in his career. Yet “Milkyway Planet” never explodes into technicolor, never turns into a drum ‘n’ bass workout or zippy pop number. It is De De Mouse at his most contemplative, letting the voices swirl around while the twinkles around build up, but never to any sort of climax or drop. Rather, they just become more enveloping, the song avoiding the typical “journey” feel De De Mouse seems to go for in favor of pure stargazing. Watch the video above.
