The prevailing theory among crate diggers and electronic music forums is that MOS was a side project of a deep house producer from the UK or Northern Europe, possibly influenced by the burgeoning "post-dubstep" scene (think Burial or Four Tet) but with a pop sensibility.
But perhaps the silence is the point. If MOS had released a press kit, done interviews with Billboard, and explained the meaning of the lyrics, the mystique would shatter. Last Summer works because it is an orphaned memory. It belongs to no one, and therefore, it belongs to everyone. MOS- Last Summer
