Misteriseparli make electronic music that feels like it started with a film scene first and the chords second. The duo’s work has always leaned toward mood over genre rules, and Mondo Exotico pushes that even further, treating each of its six tracks like a short, self-contained story.
“Big Tail” opens on seagulls and shoreline noise before a patient drum pattern and delayed guitar fall into place. It feels like watching the camera pull slowly out from the water, the synth swells and phased textures turning the piece from simple groove into something slightly surreal. “Off To Nowhere” tightens the focus: punchy drums and analogue-leaning synths that could have come straight from a Juno, built for driving scenes and night streets.
“Kaboobie” has that dusty, half-Western feel, the kind of track you could drop under a desert sequence. The melody rides on warm synths with a faint Americana tint, like a modern TV score that knows its Morricone without copying it. “Flash Gordo” is the most playful cut, four-to-the-floor pulse, guitar hooks and a loose, almost disco-adjacent sway.
“Brujeria” is where the record tips closer to indie rock. Nostalgic pads, 90s-style vocals and a throbbing Moroder-type bassline give it the feel of a lost alternative single rather than a pure electronic track. Closer “Noloso” slows everything down with organ, guitar and drums, leaning into a more romantic, twilight mood.
Taken together, Mondo Exotico feels built for sync: travel and heist sequences, off-beat thrillers, animated noirs, anything that needs colour, groove and a slightly odd edge without losing structure.
