LISTEN UP :: TOKiMONSTA / Midnight Menu / Review.



Mishka NYC gives their take on TOKiMONSTA's recently released LP, Midnight Menu...
 
For months now, IDM enthusiasts have been awaiting the forthcoming LP from Jennifer Lee, who plays under the guise of TOKiMONSTA. Currently a part of heavy-hitting IDM roster at Brainfeeder, TOKiMONSTA debut, Midnight Menu comes to us via an imprint of Japan's Art Union Recordings.

From the melodic Gamble, which sees mesmerizing guitar licks strung out over a glitchy backdrop, Midnight Menu is a soulful soundtrack that irrespective of your situation, will conjure images of warmth and relaxation. Hotly tipped to any fans of Nathan Fake, Nosaj Thing, or Baths, TOKiMONSTA melts hearts with a beauty of production that appears to strip her music down to the bare essentials, this is never more prominent than on "Solitary Joy," a track featuring the sultry vocals of Shuanise. Record highlights include "Simple Reminder," a track that goes deep into overdriven samples and trumpet stabs, while "Madness" is a soul-sampling head-nodder that gets better with every play.

With the release of Teebs' Ardour, and FlyLo's Cosmogramma, 2010's been a huge year for the Brainfeeder roster, and IDM in general; gaining an even bigger fan base, from further and wider than ever before. For the moment though, Midnight Menu is a cracking debut album from one of the brightest lights currently working the IDM sound. TOKiMONSTA is presenting her own version of the vintage California sound on a debut LP full of warm and positive, glitchy IDM. If you dig this, be sure to check out her recent work with Suzie Analogue as the two combine to create the genius that is Analogue Monsta.

WORD :: That New Weezy.

I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes
Hate in my heart, love in my mind
I seen nights full of pain, days of the same
You keep the sunshine, save me the rain

And I search but never find, hurt but never cry
I work and forever try but I'm cursed, so never mind 
And it's worse but better times seem further and beyond
The top gets higher the more that I climb

The spot gets smaller, and I get bigger
Tryna get into where I fit in, no room for a nigga
But soon for a nigga it be on, motherfucker
'Cause all this bullshit just make me strong, motherfucker

So I pick the world up
And I'ma drop it on your fuckin' head
Yeah, bitch, I'ma pick the world up
And I'ma drop it on your fuckin' head
Yeah, and I could die now, rebirth, motherfucker
Hop up in my spaceship and leave Earth, motherfucker
I'm gone, motherfucker, I'm gone

I know what they don't wanna tell you
Just hope you're heaven-sent and you're hell-proof
I, I'll walk up in the world and cut the lights off
And confidence is the stain they can't wipe off

My word is my pride
But wisdom is bleak, and that's a word from the wise
Served to survive, murdered and bribed
And when it got too heavy, I put my burdens aside

So I pick the world up
And I'ma drop it on your fuckin' head
Yeah, bitch, I'ma pick the world up
And I'ma drop it on your fuckin' head
Yeah, and I could die now, rebirth, motherfucker
Hop up in my spaceship and leave Earth, motherfucker
I'm gone, motherfucker, I'm gone

It hurts but I never show, this pain you'll never know
If only you could see just how lonely and how cold
And frostbit I've become, my back's against the wall
When push come to shove, I just stand up and scream fuck 'em all

Man, it feels like these walls are closin' in
This roof is cavin' in
Uh, it's time to raise it, then
Your tasin' them with like pages in
My book of rhymes got 'em cookin'
 
Boy, this crooked mind of mine got 'em all shook
And scared to look in my eyes
I stole that fuckin' clock, I took the time and I
Came up from behind and pretty much snuck up
And butt fucked this game up
Better be careful when you bring my name up
 
Fuck this fame, that ain't what
I came to claim but the game ain't
Gonna be the same on the day that I leave it
But I swear one way or another
I'ma make these fuckin' haters believe that
I swear to God, won't spare the rod
I'm a man of my word so your fuckin' heads better nod
 
Or I'ma fuck around in this bitch and roast everybody
Sleep on me, that pillow is where your head'll lie
Permanently, bitch, it's beddy bye
This world is my Easter egg, yeah, prepare to die

My head is swolle', my confidence is up
This stage is my pedestal, I'm unstoppable, incredible
Hope you're trapped in my medicine ball
I could run circles around you so fast
Your fuckin' head'll spin, dog
I split your cabbage and your lettuce and olives, I'll fuckin'

So I pick the world up
And I'ma drop it on your fuckin' head
Yeah, bitch, I'ma pick the world up
And I'ma drop it on your fuckin' head
 Yeah, and I could die now, rebirth, motherfucker
Hop up in my spaceship and leave Earth, motherfucker
I'm gone, motherfucker, I'm gone

LISTEN UP: OLD MUSIC LINKS.


The first track by Egypt comes from a mix which Jamie from The XX just did for Colette. 

In The Morning (Let Your Love Come In) 

This bangin' electro track is fashion mogul Karl Largerfeld‘s musical debut. He provides vocals on SomethingALaMode‘s contribution to a recently released compilation from colette. 

Rondo Parisiano ft. Karl Lagerfeld 

This track is from the Klaxons, a UK indie band. It’s more rock then their previous stuff, but with the familiar Klaxons sound. 

Flashover 

Japanese producer Shinichi Osawa remixed the Cazals track Poor Innocent Boys to create this busy electro/indie crossover. 

Poor Innocent Boys (Shinichi Osawa Remix) 

This track, by Digitalism, has been out for a while and is from their 2007 album Idealism. Amazing. 

Echoes  

Starfucker is indie inclined, but definitely worth listening to. This is one sweeet summer song. 

Florida 

Mark Ronson's last album was criticised for being too one-dimensional and all being covers. Ronson has moved away from that sound with Bang Bang Bang, which features MDNR & Q-Tip, to a sound that's much more electronic. 

Bang Bang Bang (feat. MDNR & Q-Tip) 

Australian Cullen is a big name to watch out for in the acoustic world. However, I didn’t think that would interest too many FPK readers, so I included the awesome Redial remix instead. 

Easily Impressed (Redial Remix) 

There have been quite a few remixes of Flashback by Calvin Harris, my personal favorite coming from DJ Kue. However, Virginian producer Manila Killa has produced a good contender, without changing the song too drastically. 

Flashback (Manila Killa Remix) 

This is Epyk‘s take on Jamaica‘s recent blog smash I Think I Like U 2. It's a guitar based track turned into electro gold...Madagascan electro gold. Exotic stuff. 

I Think I Like U 2 (Epyk Remix) 

This track is Grandtheft‘s remix of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers smash By The Way. Sick remix of a classic. 

By The Way (Grandtheft Remix) 

This indie track by Hockey was huge last year...and I still dig it. 

Too Fake 

This is a collab between Pharrell  and the Swedish House Mafia...yesssss you hear me right!

One ft. Pharrell
