Monolake returns with a stomper: the double A sided single Invisible Force.
Invisible leads us out of the thumping, machined darkness of Monolake’s last full-length, Momentum, and into steamy, tribal tech amidst glistening noir cities. Repetitive and insistent, but never static. You’re heading for the station to hop the trans-ether express and can’t help bobbing your head along the way.
Force sounds like phenotypical expression of an evolved genotype from Excentric or Reminiscence off Momentum. A lightly swung kick and hidden bounce in the snare, the sparsely atmospheric space around body-pop drum programming… but the comparison ends with the rhythmic structures. Chopped and re-arranged female utterances guide you through the beat, a subway driver bleeding through from the future. You can’t help but move, and when you reach your destination, you want to ride the trans-ether loop again.
Invisible Force is the first advance single from upcoming Monolake album Polygon Cities, due in June. Robert Henke’s changed up his solo artist situation and worked with a new partner for this album, T++. Invisible Force is still very much Monolake, but fresh from tomorrow. I can’t wait for the entire new plate to drop.
