Recorded during a live set at Osaka’s Zakuro back in July, “Monemone” features an extra rawness thanks to its in-the-moment nature. Yet however this sounds, Yullippe manages to make the uneasy nature of its rumble come through clearly. The beat shambles forward, the industrial influences she has long drawn from adding a nice crunch. And when the razor-sharp synth lines come in, somewhere between a gurgle and a blast, everything becomes even more dizzying. And in a nice touch possibly inspired by the live setting, she lets the song completely drop away late…only to return it, for maximum dramatic effect. Listen above.
