Single Review: Psapp – The Monster Song (Domino)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 10 November 2008
‘The Monster Song’ may not be the best title for as chirpy and minimalist a pop tune as this, but then the lyrics provide a nice contrast to the simplistic guitar strumming. It’s a trick that can end up just confusing listeners, but this paranoid tale of morning after depression somehow sits paradoxically comfortably next to the upbeat instrumental. The singing itself isn’t too bad either; a pure female tone but with the charming imperfections that make Morcheeba and Beth Orton so pleasant. The overall effect is reminiscent of the New Pornographers, with a weird selection of samples working together to make this song become increasingly atmospheric, although this is nowhere near ‘More Adventurous’.
