Monolith on CD

Monolith is O. Lamm's third full-fledged album and first stateside release; a massive overleap since his widely acclaimed HelloSpiral. Monolith is it's steel technoid counterpart, a missile shaped assemblage of sounds, beats and vocals to get spazzy on the dancefloor. Pass the overture and the manifest J-pop song 'Genius Boy' and it's all beats, beats, breaks, beats, sneaky hooks and viciously overloaded electro funk, a Melvins riff replayed on a Gameboy, a tribute to Betty Davis and a Linn beatbox, an ominous pumpy techno English/Japanese lesson, softer moments, fiercer moments. Momus raps his ass off, Lullatone's Yoshimi Tomida sings the tones of major scale, the Konki Duet's Zoe Wolf and Nobuko Hori (Music Related) chill the blood, Midori Hirano (Noble) warms things up a labor of love and noise for deviant dancefloors, or to take a walk in Shibuya or Nakameguro on a hot Sunday afternoon. O. Lamm is an electronic artist from Paris, France. He has released several albums (mostly on Parisian outsider electro label Active Suspension), and has collaborated with dDamage (Planet-Mu), Sutekh (Context, etc.), Hypo, and Domotic (Active Suspension).
