The long-awaited new album from Monkey House, the greatest Steely Dan follower of the modern era, is their first in about three years! This is a masterpiece that has reached the highest quality ever in both songs and sound.
A masterpiece that shows more sophistication and depth than the previous album "Remember the Audio" (2022). Unfortunately, this was Drew Zing's (g) last recording before his death.
"Monkey House's fifth release in Japan is their best work yet. Based on their traditional Steely Dan predilection, this album offers a wider range of sound textures. In addition to their approach to jazz funk and acoustic sounds, their use of horns is reminiscent of Chicago, another big band that Don Brauthaupt respects..." -- Kanazawa Hisakazu
