‎Ultra Dramatic Kid

Description

Revealed to the general public alongside Myth Syzer, Ichon, and Bonnie Banane on 'Le Code', Muddy Monk has been imposing from his native Switzerland a fine and synthetic universe that greatly contributes to the renewal of French song. The journey began in 2018 with 'Longue Ride', a cathartic debut album that he describes as 'a kind of therapy' and unanimously praised by critics. It was in 2020 that he returned with 'Ultra Tape', a mixtape that, in hindsight over these two past years, resembles the beginnings of his second album. We then discover a more raw universe. Darker too. A superb launch pad for his second album.
With Ultra Dramatic Kid, Muddy Monk delivers a new radical piece, a bubble of just over thirty minutes during which he manages to work his magic and make us dance on the edge of his emotions. As if everything could tip in an instant towards happiness or chaos. An electric album and a sublime dive into his universe that draws from both Daft Punk, Rage Against The Machine, and Travis Scott. A project that takes the form of a global experience, both auditory and visual, since almost all the tracks listed in the tracklisting have been visualized by Felix de Givry, the whole forming a short film to be discovered with the release of the project. In the end, Ultra Dramatic Kid is an uncompromising album in which we take pleasure in getting lost. An album that further establishes the Swiss artist as one of those capable of redefining the contours of French song for many more years to come.
