Pleasantly contrary jazztronica
Mads Lindgren a.k.a. Monolog proved with his debut release Mumbler last spring, an unusual
ability to twirl samples around his guitar finger, creating a unique blend of traditionally
jazzy instruments, creative electronic beats and twisted soundscapes. The album reaped richly
positive reviews, and left many people with a wanting for more. This winter came half a 7",
Mongo (shared with Mango Delight
), as a pretest to the present album.
Slugs is the title of Monolog's new CD album release, which contains 20 tracks. In a pure
monological form, the multitude of tracks are weaved together creating a wholeness, the
complete shape of which one is forced to accept, if not before, then at the end of the
album.
Monolog has been accepted for 'Politikkens Rockleksikon' a major Danish music encyclopedia,
for his contributions to the music scene. He is also active on the party scene as co-organizer
of 9000massive (drum'n'bass parties) and as DJ under the name DJ Monolog (!).
The cover for Slugs has been beautifully generated by
Loka?, who's
raw mixture of photos and comics that is his trademark fits ideally with Monolog's
mixture of twisted electronica and soft jazz.
DJs and other vinyl freaks can look forward to a couple of 12" releases, something that
Monolog claims to have missed between his two CD albums and the half 7". The productive,
young musical mind will have no problem delivering!
