Recent visitors to our shores for the V Festival, Munk (Mathias Modica) are due to drop their new album ‘Cloudbuster’ on his genre defying and ultra cool label Gomma – home to WhoMadeWho and Headman amongst others.
Described as “The German DFA” by NME, ‘Cloudbuster’ follows on from 2005’s ‘Appertivo’ (I-D Magazine “a superb futuristic mix of space disco and psychedelic soul") - a highlight of which was the disco anthem “Kick Out The Chairs” that featured James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem on vocals.
This time around the boys hook up with Italian actress Asia Argento (known from Sofia Coppola’s ‘Marie Antoinette – “The Queen of this year’s Cannes Film Festival” Herald Tribune), Busy P (founder of Ed Banger records and manager of Justice), and Matty Safer of The Rapture.
‘Cloudbuster’ is not a retro disco album. Its futuristic astral Funk from the year 2099 mixed up with 70ies psychedelic vibes, 80ies Italodisco and 90ies electronica. The album starts with some dirty disco hymns and ends in a superslow krauty cinematic sound orgy.
“Live Fast Die Old” is the first single to be lifted from the album and comes out in 2 weeks on lovely collectors edition vinyl featuring remixes from Busy P, Headman, WhoMadeWho, and The Juan Maclean. Check out the original mix here (www.myspace.com/munkfromgomma), and also a 10 minute mega mix of the album.
Don’t just take it from us, let Mathias tell you, Munk are like “Gnarls Barkley fuckin with ESG and Mr. Oizo in a Prefuse 73." Don’t miss this Cloudburst!
from me
Remember the first time u heard the full album from whomadewho or Headman? I remember that feeling on both records that there was not a single track there used to fill space or time. Every single track was great in its own way and all both records from tip to toes was simply delightfull. and Oh . There were from Gomma too.
If u like listening to music apart from dancing it and bangin your head this is a must. U can play it everywhere and everytime u´ll enjoy it. from The first track with Asia Argento to the last and more eclectic tracks everything here is in the right place.
