Monkeytown

A high-voltage collision of Berlin techno, glitch, and bass. Neon-lit, irreverent, and featuring haunting vocal turns from Thom Yorke.

It's like a high-speed chase through a neon-lit Berlin basement with Thom Yorke in the passenger seat.

A high-octane blend of playful irreverence and dark, urban tension.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The haunting, fractured falsetto of Thom Yorke drifting over the syncopated, aquatic beat of Shipwreck.
The aggressive, mechanical stomp of German Clap building into a relentless wall of industrial percussion.
The deadpan, satirical spoken word delivery on Pretentious Friends cutting through the neon synth stabs.
