Somewhere in the sea of Since I Left You's flight to Honolulu, in some portal to Les Baxter's island paradise, as listened to by Lawrence Jocoby, cooling his heels, taken away from a place seen from two places at once to a drifting island simplicity. Ted Feighan's got that cratedigger sound, that recontexual sample-judo (is that some Carpet Crawlers I hear?), that hiss of vinyl that keeps it from pure frivolity, offsets all that exotica sheen with the warbled physicality of the almighty vinyl.
Earlier Monster Rally stuff put me off with its detuned very-2010 fuckery, maybe a stylistic choice, maybe just a side affect of slapshot BPM-molesting. But now, the sound itself can shine through without all that nonsense, and it's a fine driftaway, Jocoby head lolling, letting all that murder fall away in horns and ukes and a flutter of strings 4/5
