Mouf Soundz!

This here is one of those groups that, in addition to making good music, possesses the extra "Wow" factor when it comes to method, and the fact that the group is made up of a bunch of white Austrian dudes... that beatbox... gives it even more "WTF?"...



... and that group is the so-called "vocal groove project" known as Bauchklang. And yep, the song you are about to hear was made nothing but the human voice, some good compression and reverb. Maybe these aren't the only folks that do that sort of thing, but I've never heard it done so well... credit mad skeelz and good songwriting...

Bauchklang - Don't Step (ysi)




Just so you know, I first got tipped to Bauchklang by the excellent blog Comfort Music, which posted a couple tracks a while back, and I liked it so much I went out and got me the album. So suck on that, RIAA!

Here's a little YouTubes look at the boys in action...



Incredible stuff... come to America, Bauchklang! Of course, if you did, some record label putz would probably insist that you change your name to something like Mouf Soundz... on second thought, just keep doin' what yer doin... :P
