Enki Enlil - Acid Monkey Strikes Again (2010)



/Hauntology, Synth noir, Psyambient, Electronic pop, Avant-electronica, Experimentalism, Drone pop, DIY/

Comment: actually it involves much more elements than just by the sentence that hip-hop beats meet acid ambience. Furthermore, those aforementioned stylistic elements are quite vague on it. It is deeply haunting sounding like a track from within a compilation of halloween being deliberately mixed up with nowadays DIY/lo-fi aesthetics. All those dusty, droning analogue keyboards are set up to provide lush vibrations and suggestive rhythms or at times being replaced with more introverted electronic explorations. Even psychedelic chill out/psyambient-esque patterns and shamanic incantations are represented here. And all of that sounds truly great. In a nutshell, a gem indeed.
