Comment: Monkey Warhol is an artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA who have released 4 EPs so far. If to cite the electro-catchy ditty Desperate Measures “the rhythm is your mysteries” and it says all in fact. All these 5 tracks clocking in at a 12 minute is a lush rhythmic Moloch full of propulsive electro beats and iterative phrases of word. I guess Andy Warhol would like that because of music and because of the history (in fact, the legend behind it) of Monkey Warhol used to deface other historical facts either. For instance, the artist was inspired by Bob Dylan’s loud and abrasive Metal Machine Music. Additionally the artist must be quite old because he (or she) was born in late-1800s. And of course, Monkey Warhol partly hijacked the identity of Andy Warhol which has been a practice by the counterculture for a while to employ the symbols of the mainstream economic-driven culture and then deface and ridicule them. Yet it is a new level because Andy Warhol was a prominent figure within the counterculture. Never mind, the outing is a top tier.
