♫♪  Mocky - “Exception To The Rule”

Mmm. You know what’s SMOOTH?

Yup: peanut butter. Absolutely love that shit.

Oh, know what else, though? L.A.-via-Berlin songsmith, producer (of Feist, Kelela, Chilly Gonzales, Moses Sumney, Lidell and more), and soulman-extraordinaire Dominic “Mocky” Salole. That’s what.

‘Specially here on this brand spanking new video he’s sharing with us today for the the gooey, golden-brown, toasted slow-burn of a love track “Exception to the Rule,” direcred by Vice Cooler. Described by the Mox-man himself as “a behind the scenes look at a day in the studio,” the clip features some uber-sexy, sepia-toned recording studio-porn, and the track itself features contributions from “breakout artists” Joey Dosik on keyboards and Moses Sumney on background vocals.

The song is from Mocky’s third installment of his “Moxtape” series, The Moxtape Vol. III, which came out in April via Heavy Sheet and which features contributions from Jamie Lidell, DJ/Filmmaker Mr. Oizo, and strings-man Miguel Atwood-Ferguson; and let me tell you: it’s so smooth you can get on this shit and SURF. Like wave after wave of delicious peanut butter. Oh yes.
