Songs Without Words Part 1
Mike Monday
Released:
Sep 2008
Label:
OM Records
Mike Monday's second album feels almost like a sampler of the best electronica circa 2008 -- you've got subaqueous dubstep ("Grace"), polychromatic minimal house ("Through the Keyhole"), spring-loaded neo-acid house ("Salieri Complex") and, for good measure, wonky, lopsided funk detours that sound like parade horns coming off a weekend bender. No matter how many styles Monday ropes in, he always sounds 100% himself; for all his tempo changes, the album works as a singular mood piece. This wordless set speaks volumes: it's a box full of boxes of surprises, stacked Russian-doll style.
