WERMONSTER - 'UNDERGROUND CONTINENTAL'. A FRENCH HIP-HOPPER LIVING IN BERLIN. TRY IT AND SEE!

Sometimes it can feel as though the element of chance (unprecedented?) has been removed from modern music.
Everything seems to be in its right place, sitting complacently and acknowledging its place in the grander (pre-established hierarchy?), more proper scheme of things.
...

Not so, Wermonster. A French émigré living in Berlin, the producer’s hip hop influenced album Ghosts Move Slowly is full of chance abandon, full of an attitude that just seems to scream ‘try it and see’.
The result is eerie and beautiful, draped in a uniquely European elegance as a very human narrative seems to play out in the shadows of its 30 plus minutes.
