Comments

Beat-dominated electronica with uniquely odd vocals. The lyrics, while tending to be repetitive, are catchy. The music has a sort of urgent feel to it, not unlike Massive Attack's work.

This is the debut album of Minuit (pronounced, apparently, "min-wee") and an impressive effort. I'm looking forward to their next album already.

Check out Menace, with 80s computerish sounds. Niiice. a.m. e.m. is another of my favourite tracks, with its spookily gothic mood.
