Review:
Sophomore follow up to 2011 Tantale, Monogrenade utilizes vintage synthesizers that coast through planetary atmospheres (#1 "Portal") before crashing down in a dense haze of galactic grooves ("Cercles et pentagones") and faux-futuristic funk (electro-pop tune "Métropolis," which is inspired by the German sci-fi film of the same name). Arcade Fire's Pietro Amato joins the cast playing french horn. String by Mommies on the Run (Patrick Watson, Karkwa, Ariane Moffatt).
RIYL:
French version of Radiohead, Half Moon Run, Pinegrove
