We’re diving into the captivating world of Monggrel, a one-man electronic band that weaves together an extraordinary blend of sounds. Under the moniker Monggrel, American musician B. Wood takes us on a sonic journey unlike any other. His debut album, “Ceremonies,” was born from a transformative voyage to the Indian subcontinent, where Wood collected a treasure trove of enchanting field recordings, infusing them with lo-fi beats, dub rhythms, and industrial noise.
Now, we eagerly explore Monggrel’s companion EP, “Public Transport,” which delves into experimental lo-fi hip hop beats, sprinkled with hints of Dub and Drum’n’Bass. This release aims to capture the essence of labor, beauty, and grit. But that’s not all—Monggrel’s third offering, “Urban Strata,” serves as a metaphorical soundtrack depicting a social dystopia born from environmental struggles, while still providing a glimmer of hope.
Here’s a track called Gold Fuzz Acid, which, as you may expect, harks back affectionately to the days of Acid House, definitely more chilled but some lovely retro sounds in there…
