i'm listening to the self-titled 2009 album for the first time since back then, and i didn't remember it sounding so portishead-y both in production sound and guitar tone. pretty cool. looking for a link for those who haven't heard it, i found this posting on monome.org:

"monome - ALBUM - spinach prince *live hiphop monome stuff*"
new record from my group in chicago... free download in mp3 or wav.

the whole idea of this one is a madlib/dilla-inspired live group, everything is played live and then torn apart. Treating live instruments like samples.

hope someone here enjoys this!

also if you're in chicago we're playing the bottom lounge this friday with j davis trio and lowdown brass band.... should be gritty as hell... :)"

now the bad news is they took the album off of their site.* the good news is there was a 2nd EP last year.
