MILD MONK
Don't Wait
San Jose, California, United States
Mild Monk’s sound is fantastically vibrant. Full of chiptune tones, colours of funk and textures that crunch all the way back to 8-bit, it's a sound to behold. ‘Don’t Wait’ is a track that exudes mammoth amounts of emotion and good vibes by delivering a hook and a beat that is as good as it gets. It's funky and it hits you like a flush of euphoria. I couldn’t help but smile as the song shifted and changed before me, becoming more and more complex, layered, and catchy. The vocals are smooth, hitting that shoe-gaze vibe but not letting go of the emotion that resides in the instrumental.
Mild Monk hits different. Their latest EP is out now and I implore you all to give it a listen. With sounds like ‘Don’t Wait’ you can’t afford not to get in on this funky retro action. It's new, yet also a blast from the past. Funk has never felt fresher.
