1 minute and 50 seconds of inspired madness from Willy Moon. The 21 year-old New Zealander makes 50’s music that has been made with the knowledge of modern equipment. The Guardian described him as “Bo Diddley remixed by Swizz Beats”. This is the only track available at the moment. Intriguing stuff. He could be genius or novelty, it’s way to early to tell yet. Isn’t this the kind of music Derek from Crystal Swing should be making?

That’s a Great stage name. Even better if it’s his real name. I’m undecided whether I like it though..
i dont like it…. everyone these day’s think if you put electronic beats and samples on a tune that it is the chief…. it is infact not the chief!
i don’t like it – i love it. the song is a perfect teaser of willy-things-to-come. love to breathe the air of actual mystery and anticipation, the aftersmell of this first 1:50-min-explosion. hope he gets what he deserves for doing it all right.
