Monster RallyAug 4

Good morning.
Today we’re listening to Monster Rally, a producer and visual artist from Cleveland, Ohio. As a teenager, his musical journey began as a member of screamo band Driver Side Impact. While traveling with the band, he purchased records with interesting covers, especially American exotica (Les Baxter, Martin Denny, etc).¹ After he left the band, these records would be the ones he would primarily sample for the hip-hop beats he’d make as Monster Rally. We’re playing his two latest LPs, Adventures on the Floating Island from 2019 and Botanica Dream from a couple weeks ago.
Adventures on the Floating Island - Monster Rally (40m, no vocals)
Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube Music / Amazon Music / Bandcamp / Tidal
Botanica Dream - Monster Rally (40m, occasional vocal sample like tracks 5 and 13)
Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube Music / Amazon Music / Bandcamp / Tidal
Have an awesome Thursday.
