Yes I like everything I have heard from Necromonkey. And also Mattias's solo material. Money well spent. I am eager for more.
Anyone who digs Necromonkey should pick up the Walrus album as well, at a bare minimum

It came around before Necromonkey (I think!) but is very much in the same vein. Lovely fun stuff:

cool, thanks
So far I can say that I might prefer the first album just a wee wee wee bit more, but I need more spins of "Glimpse". Its certainly killer and the highlight for me is the 4th track (title track). The compositions seem more, I dunno, mature perhaps (?), and maybe more developed on the sophomore effort, but there is a directness that hits me a bit more on the debut. Both are great, and both have an incredible amount of detail that I just respect the hell out of - there is so much happening within the sonic palette that multiple spins are required imo to begin to scratch the surface. What a great synergy that has evolved between Mattias and David - they certainly have found inspiration somewhere and used it to great extent. Totally tubular stuff for sure. More spins for "Glimpse" and then on to the newest one.
Yes you are right on the mark battema. These guys know what they're doing !Agreed on all fronts!

In a nutshell, I love it. If I *had* to choose, the 1st album might inch out the second one, but they are both stellar.
Right now, I am having a blast on YT catching up watching a shitload of videos (live and studio) that Mattias has created. Just absolutely loving this stuff
There are a few themes that just strike a lightning bolt through my soul like part II of "Asshole" and the coda segment to "Glimpse", but there are others too. I am almost putting off hearing the newest album because sometimes that first magic spin is never bettered, and I'm not sure I'm mentally ready.
I fucking MUST see them live when they come back here.
Sorry man, I was just spewing about 'Glimpse'. I misread what you wrote. Well, now you know my thoughts and why I might hold off for a bit
Hey Frank, since you and others are digging the 'Monkey, thought maybe you'd enjoy listening to this conversation I had with the Main Monkey a few years ago.

Will probably download the latest from bandcamp in the upcoming weeks, I have about 10 albums lined up from bandcamp currently and I'm getting itchy to pull the trigger.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

NECRO-MUTHA-FUCKIN-MONKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, I love love love 'Hertz'. Its as good as the other two easily, maybe even better in some ways.
BTW, my 9-year old son LOVES the track "Spoken" from Necroplex and he can't get over the distorted 1920's Chicago-type thing, and he keeps asking me how they did it - I really have no idea? He actually walks around the house humming that little riff - its pretty hilarious!
Necromonkey is awesomesauce. If you ever have a chance to see them live, make it happen. Monstrous.
