Monkey House announce sixth album Remember the Audio
“I’ll cop to the end-times theme,” Breithaupt says. “The music isn’t downbeat at all, but under the shiny surface and the hooks… That’s why Mose Allison’s Ever Since the World Ended fit right in. I thought it would be a good coda for the album because it’s fatalistic, but it’s also really funny and not too heavy.”
The new album features their regular lineup of drummer Mark Kelso, bassist Pat Kilbride, and guitarist Justin Abedin, along with guests including trumpeters Randy Brecker, Guido Basso and Michael Leonhart, guitarist Drew Zingg, and singers Lucy Woodward and David Blamires.
Like the last three Monkey House albums, Remember the Audio was co-produced by Breithaupt and Peter Cardinali, with bed tracks recorded live off the floor at Noble Street Studios in Toronto.
Here’s the track listing:
- The Future is Almost Gone
