Auckland based Monkey Boots are back on Grass Green in a big way! And by big, we mean hold on to your teeth, eyeballs and nose studs, because "Just Here to Raise Ya" has been clinically proven to blow heads clean off. Give in to the power of the tea as this deep roller has you stomping around the campfire while shadowy figures flicker in and out of your consciousness.
Warm like a good hug, Melody of Creed is proper smile tackle. Lush pads, smooth washes and skittering bongos are layered over an old-school bassline before a dreamy, uplifting vocal leaves you feeling, well, a little better about the world. Smooth analog synth stabs lift things further before tricky vocal FX and a dubby acid line leave you snug as a club in a dub.
Loose, louche and lascivious, Monkey Boots' take on a Cure classic is a journey to a Balearic beach as the clouds cross the sun. A hint of darkness and danger. A cautionary tale. Watch out for the eight-legged freaks.
