Baby Monster – Ultra Violence and Beethoven
I finally got the chance to see Baby Monster live last week when they were over from the States at the ever decent Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, as they did a few shows before the single drops on Monday (09/11) and they have a fucking great live sound. They only played a handful of tracks, but there was enough there for me to be damn excited for when they finally get and EP or album out. They apparently have nine songs pretty much finished so that shouldn’t be too long hopefully. The risk that they may have sounded a too much like MGMT was quickly put out of my mind as the darkness and depth really shines through on stage. It was good to see the guys at our Halloween party as well of course…

Mondkopf draws out the dark industrial influences of the original and takes them centre stage, pushing the uplift and hope in the original to the side. In contrast, Arveen & Misk take the song on a pop-styled electro journey. Both definitely worth a listen or three.

there’s a small sampling of their material on the web, no question it’s impressive and draws favorable commentary, but the stuff we heard that night was of such dynamic quality that it’s hard to resist forecasting these guys are on the verge of giving us some serious groundbreaking sounds. let’s hear more.
Absolutely. I had only heard Ultra Violence and Curses before seeing them live, and they are both great songs recorded, but live they are so much better and there were a couple more that I’m really hoping to be the next singles. We shall see.
[...] second single in “She Comes Alive”. This is a lighter, happier feel compared to Ultra Violence and Beethoven, but doesn’t disappoint by getting stuck in your head with a chorus that transcends the [...]
