Mike Gordon, the enigmatic Los Angeles musician known professionally as Mk.gee, had a tremendous breakout last year. His gooey, off-kilter album Two Star & The Dream Police was a critical sensation that made Mk.gee a favorite of a bunch of prominent musicians, and he got famous enough to get booked as an SNL musical guest. (My daughter saw those performances and was like, “What is this?”) Mk.gee reportedly worked with Justin Bieber on new music, which sounds nuts, but we don’t know if or when we’ll be able to hear it. We do, however, get to hear what happens when Mk.gee helps out some other artists. He’s a contributor, for instance, on Bon Iver’s new LP SABLE, fABLE. And this week, he’s also a collaborator on new tracks from two new artists who are way less famous than either Justin Bieber or Bon Iver.
