The Profile

DeBaser’s MU groups together distinct acts: the 1970s American band led by Merrell Fankhauser with Jeff Cotton (ex–Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band), and the 2000s electronic project fronted by Japanese vocalist Mutsumi with producer Maurice Fulton.

Reviews note the tropical psych–surf–tribal character of the early Mu album (later issued in the UK as Lemurian Music) and the abrasive, sex-charged electro of Afro Finger & Gel and Out Of Breach, produced by Maurice Fulton; related singles include Paris Hilton and We Love Guys Named Luke.

On DeBaser, MU means multiple things: the 1970s psych/surf project led by Merrell Fankhauser (with Jeff Cotton) and the 2000s electronic onslaught fronted by Mutsumi with Maurice Fulton. Reviews swing from reverent to scandalized, praising tropical-tribal psychedelia and confronting abrasive electro-funk. Expect hypnotic mantras, V/Vm mischief, and club music torn to shreds.
