Mono/Poly- Manifestations EP

On his latest EP, Manifestations, Mono/Poly brings all of the sounds informing his full-length debut to their melting point. Rather than hoping from idea to idea, this short release shoots for an atmospheric aesthetic filled with crisp beats and glitched bass programming. Like any good release on Brainfeeder, it's difficult to pin a single genre to this thing, which only adds to the sonic adventure. Is this EP for you? Find out in this review.

Mono/Poly- "Forest Dark"

A while back, I took on Mono/Poly's debut album, Paramatma, in a video review. Overall, though the LP has some great ideas, it kinda spread itself thin by concentrating its efforts on a plethora of different sounds--you know, kinda like this.

But that's just all my opinion anyway.

Mono/Poly is releasing a new EP on 4/5 via Brainfeeder. The title is Manifestations, and from the sound of "Forest Dark," this thing could be a beast. Another issue I had with Paramatma was that it lived in the shadow of FlyLo a bit. You could simply say the two sound alike, too. But on this track, Mono/Poly really starts to define his own sound with some warm swells of synth and glitchy-as-freakin-hell beat production. Fry your brain:
