about

After a four-year hiatus, Julie Crawford’s MONKOORA project makes a welcome return this month with the stunning Night Charm. Due on 3 December via her own Labyrinths in Whack label, Night Charm twists and turns across its eight tracks, traversing numerous genres, never keeping still for too long. Describing the record as a “microcosm that exists in the night time”, opener Bloom carries you away into a dreamlike realm with gorgeous swirling pianos, its structure almost emulating the rise and fall of a chest as you descend into a deep sleep, before Celestica’s uncomfortable looped backing vocals kick in.

Later on the record, Moon Food is a dystopian sci-fi delight, and Night Walks sees Crawford channelling the 80s energy of Madonna’s Holiday over a modest bass groove and static hi-hats. Black Mould offers up the record’s most tender moment, showcasing just how unique, pure and warm Crawford’s voice is making for a really moving moment on a record that’s chock full of exciting ideas. - The Skinny

Forget Your Own Face

continuing from FIYH, this is blackpilled as all fuck; written and delivered with the raw candidness and self-mocking bitterness of a high-schoolers journal, and set to beats that are laser-focused to keep my distractable mind topped up on angry dopamine. A tight 21 minutes of weaponised disgust. Tom Colquhoun
