Comment: Eknoh is Hal Honke, and vice versa, whose 5-track issue is a part of the discography of the Japanese imprint Ceramicrecords. Because of having had no contact with the artist before listening to this issue I thought firstly it is an album by a Finn due to the Finnish title (Hi! Monthly Whales). I also thought of it as an issue coming out from the 00s under such labels either as Petite & Jolie, Error! Lo-Fi Recordings, 23 Seconds, Aerotone, or No-Source. However, it is a decent alternative, electronic pop issue with acidic grooves, brisk changes between the chords, some catchy melodies and lead motives, and sprawling yet exquisite orchestrations. I would like to call it an example of post-IDM (or IDM pop).
