I first heard “Mondo ‘77” in a commercial. I don’t remember what it was for. I don’t know what it was trying to sell. But that didn’t matter. It was the song itself that sold me. Later I found out it was recorded by Looper, the side project from Stuart David of Belle & Sebastian. A project that’s curiously nothing like Belle & Sebastian. It’s electronic. Contagious. Repetitive. Big on samples. Big on hooks.
