About MC LarsAn artist who is often seen as the defining act in his genre - ?post punk laptop rap?, as he calls it - MC Lars performs looped, rock-influenced sample-based music. While the foreground to his music is often created on his laptop, Lars has a unique take on the style, usually incorporating a live band alongside the electronics. Surprisingly, Lars also shows a strong literary interest in his music, with his songs referencing Shakespeare (in Rapbeth and This Gigantic Robot Kills), Edgar Allen Poe (in Mr. Raven) and even an entire track on the novel Moby Dick (Hey Ophelia). A devout fan base often hunts for unreleased MC Lars rarities, which include comedy tracks like Lord of the Fries, Walt Disney the Fascist and Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Religion I Learnt from Daniel Johnston. Due to the nature of his music, Lars' background is littered with big name collaborators.
