New Noise: Baby Monster
Having browsed through a hefty chunk of the available literature on Baby Monster, I hesitate to mention MGMT, as pretty much every piece I read compared the two bands. However, at the risk of spreading a cliché, it’s genuinely the case that MGMT sprung to mind before I had read a single word on Baby Monster.
In fact, “Ultra Violence And Beethoven” immediately sprung out at me as a spaced out version of Soulwax’s remix of “Kids”. And whilst it may be true that Baby Monster share with them a knack for unforgettable choruses, they set themselves apart with sly intricacies and the much under-appreciated art of building tension. As “Ultra Violence And Beethoven” confirms, Baby Monster are one of the most exciting new bands around and are completely stuffed with potential, it’s just up to them which way they choose to take it. Superstardom one way lies, without a doubt.
