Mister Fusty is the musical pseudonym of Rob Gibson, who is based in Whitley Bay, England.



His first two albums, "Honest Blundering" (2006) and "Sparkle Darkly" (2007) consisted of instrumental nuggets of electronic lo-fi lounge pop - hard to categorize but easy on the ear.

2008's "Sprung" EP was the last foray into instrumental-only releases as since then Rob has decided to give vocals a chance and has been lovingly crafting songs ready for release this year.



The latest album "Over the Rocky Mountains" still retains the pop sensibility and catchiness of his instrumental albums but this time using vocal melody and harmony to fully flesh out his pop song aspirations.

"I've always wanted to do an album of catchy, three-minute pop songs, but I'd not had much confidence with my voice. It wasn't until I tried singing a few songs and playing them to people who responded positively and told me my vocals were fine that I got a bit of confidence to have a crack at it", says Rob.



The album is an eclectic mix, the opening track, "Rocky", is a straight-up rock song, albeit with some typical Fusty flourishes. "Airport Lounge" waltzes with some old-fashioned keyboards, while the melancholic "Wake Me Up When The Future's Rosy" sounds like it could have come from a number of late 1980's indie bands. There is even a disco-esque track, "Grumpy Like Me", a tongue-in-cheek song of devotion between snarky lovers.
