Peter Jones Yup, funk! Gorgeous album, every track a winner. There's a degree of Ill Considered in the sound, so if you like them, definitely check this out. Favorite track: Fugue State pt. 2.

Mikely This record deserves way more hype than it received! Favorite track: Bouzouki Song.

Josh Woodley This is just the perfect blend of Afro Cuban, Latin and Funk music. I have been waiting for this album for a while. Very much worth the wait. Favorite track: Mind Meld.

about

"Man is a Monster is a collection of songs from a period of two years
during which I traveled more than I ever had before, spending time in
countries, most of which, I had never visited. The songs were conceived
in that spirit of exploration, in a global sense, but also of our musical
and technical abilities. This album's eclectic sound is an indication of the
many inuences and experiences of the group, as well as our intent to
take the emphasis away from traditional 4/4 rhythms and channel those
inuences into something deeper and more challenging than our
previous work." - Will Rast
