Ultra Dramatic Kid

Description

Revealed to the general public alongside Myth Syzer, Ichon and Bonnie Banane on 'Le Code', Muddy Monk has been imposing a refined and synthetic universe from his native Switzerland, greatly contributing to the renewal of French-language song. The journey began in 2018 with 'Longue Ride', a first cathartic 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 which, in hindsight of these two years gone by, resembles the beginnings of his second album. We then discover a rawer universe. Darker too. A superb launchpad for his second album. With Ultra Dramatic Kid, Muddy Monk delivers a radical new piece, a bubble of barely over thirty minutes during which he succeeds in working his magic and making 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 as much from Daft Punk, Rage Against The Machine as from Travis Scott. A project that takes the form of a global experience, both auditory and visual, since almost all the tracks on the tracklisting have been put to images 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-language song for many years to come.
