Title:
Into The Trees E.P.
Label:
Interchill
Released:
23rd March
Melbourne
based duo the Sun:Monx (a collaboration between Austero & Opiou)
return with more of their guitar laden, glitchy dub and funk sound
two years after their debut album 'Power Salad'. With four new tracks
to whet your appetite for a new album in the pipeline.
The
e.p. starts with 'Rotney Stem Cell' a smooth slinky guitar piece,
which would easily slot easily into any funk set and groove a dance
floor, with a subtle but effective additional glitch to twist your
hips to.
'Lo
Keys' squelches the bass deep and low while funky horns spring into
action, add a little husky 'Yeah' sample and smooth guitar breakdowns
and it's another winner.
The
bass riff undercurrent of 'Into The Trees' sounds familiar and works
wonderfully with the lush guitar licks before the dub reggae switch
and smooth sax … all thrillers and no fillers so far.
The
final track 'Run' is more of an outro but as outro's go it's a lovely
melodic downtempo gem with contrasting guitar that really deserves an
extension.
To
summarise this is a well produced fusion of sun soaked dub and funk
with a touch of glitch that really hits the spot for me. I'd even go
as far to say glitch-haters might re-consider when they hear the
Sun:Monx sound.
