RELEASE DATE
6/10/2014
Double LP version. Housed in a gatefold sleeve. Having received wide critical acclaim for his remixes of
Bonobo
and
Andreya Triana
, and award-winning DJ mix for Ninja Tune's
Solid Steel
series,
Alex Banks
spent two years in the studio working on his latest album
Illuminate
. After meeting 50weapons'
Phon.o
when they played together in Zurich in 2013, the link to Monkeytown was made. These 10 tracks explode with vitality, flecked with subtlety and depth, at once utterly contemporary but tinged with all the genres and flavors he's ever dipped into. The single,
All You Could Do
, for instance, replete with a Phon.o remix, comes on like a pin-sharp glitch-hop
Esben & The Witch
, but elsewhere "Sheya" throbs like
Art Department
's deep house at a dubstep convention, opener "Silent Embrace" is a silky match for the likes of
London Grammar
and
Jesse Ware
, and the bouncing "Initiate" is pitched midway between what
Maceo Plex
and
James Holden
are up to. All in all, it's a potent brew.
