Momus, born on February 11, 1960 in Paisley, Scotland, is a Scottish singer-songwriter and author. With a career spanning over three decades, Momus has established himself as an influential figure in the indie pop and alternative music scenes.

Known for his witty and thought-provoking lyrics, Momus has been compared to artists such as *Future Bible Heroes*, *The 6ths*, and *Felt*. His unique blend of electronic and acoustic sounds creates a distinctive musical style that sets him apart from his contemporaries.

In addition to his solo work, Momus has collaborated with various musicians and bands including *The Auteurs*, *The Monochrome Set*, and *The High Llamas*. His collaborations have resulted in critically acclaimed albums that showcase his versatility as an artist.

after a two-year foray into book-writing and contemporary art, momus returns to pop with his strongest release in over a decade. this time he's focused on what he calls 'the catnip factor'. just what is it that makes us want to play a great song over and over again on youtube? what is it about some simple chords and rhymes that really gets under our skin and penetrates deep into our memory and emotion? after avoiding pop, or asking it to do things books and art can do better, momus suddenly found himself, in the spring of 2010, playing his favourite songs on youtube, drawing inspiration for new songs from them, recording the songs and making videos for them during marathon 'videosong' sessions, then uploading the results straight up to youtube. the hypnoprism album is the 'hard copy' of this process of falling back in love with pop music via its greatest visual moments. and although 'hypnoprism' is a made-up word, it might as well be a synonym for youtube itself: that hypnotic prism that makes songs visible.
