“Him & her” local act Falcao And Monashee employed the tried-and-true back to the woods solicit for this self-titled album—camping out on an eyot in some cabin to make some music. Hence their use of birdsong (scarcely forgivable), and the overwhelming fervour of intrusion when listening to their self-titled efforts. Not an album for parties or burly groups, it should be enjoyed alone with a honest serving of the capacity-reducing import of your choice. Their quiet, layered compositions and floccose lyrics are a dish most superbly served in the dark and ease—where it doesn’t matter that they have never so much as heard of consonants.

Lassie annoyances aside, each air is esoterically wonderful. “Quiet Agent” is the soundtrack to an arthouse layer about former spies, retired to the glide but about to be embroiled in political collusion once again—maybe. “Parasocial,” the first to-do on this album to feature even remotely enunciated words, is also the creepiest: trilling keyboards with a serious, unnerving beat. Hip for your Halloween fete, or any time you feel a import of looming disaster. The actual keeper of the album is “Starlight,” just about five minutes of Monashee’s fantabulous translucent voice doing what can only be described as “fetching high things,” with the addition of judicious use of xylophone. I as backup high praise for a at a bargain price a fuss that not only uses esoteric instruments but can get you laid (no, earnestly).
