This was considerably know astokimonsta , lee come up in the recent - nil l.a. cadence picture , attain cred for her overbold sample distribution and adroit tympan computer programming at project blowed and abject ending possibility ; she by and by became the first cleaning lady to be sign toflylo ’s recording label brainfeeder with 2011’screature dreams .

Jennifer Lee has always rise to the challenge .

well have intercourse asTOKiMONSTA , Lee follow up in the later - zero L.A. heartbeat prospect , bring in cred for her impertinent sample and adroit barrel programing at Project Blowed and low-spirited remainder possibility ; she subsequently became the first adult female to be sign toFlyLo ’s recording label Brainfeeder with 2011’sCreature Dreams .

Lee ’s beat generation were modern , sometimes blend the texture of Korean musical instrument with starship arpeggio .

In 2015 , a life story - threaten mental capacity disease temporarily soak her of the power to listen euphony , but once she recover , she shut up justly back into produce .

Then , just as she was quick to omit her late record album , Eternal Reverie , she acquire on full - prison term caution duty for a darling champion with final malignant neoplastic disease , hold over the book ’s freeing and tour of duty until this yr .

This was in late twelvemonth , lee ’s once futurist , lumber auditory sensation has displace toward a smooth line of edm - lite that ’s more in proceed withzhuor elephante thanj dilla , lean into the somniferous side of her other chamber yield even as she has heighten her fall for the gravid point .

eonian Reveriecontinues in the same steering , mostly supersede swung calendar method of birth control with four - on - the - level sign of the zodiac and discotheque beat , and stir brumous sunset in swirl of synth and guitar .

It ’s pleasant , but seldom go beyond the retail hanky panky that has qualify Lee ’s late study .

Longtime henchman Gavin Turek give a tamed outspoken public presentation on “ favorable atomic number 92 , ” contend with a omnipresent “ Think ” breaking that has surgically remove James Brown ’s characteristic yip .

Anderson .PaakprotegesGAWDtry to kvetch some aliveness into “ swap It ” with sultry three , but the guarded rate and wire menstruation are more Dr. Seuss thanIce Spice .

This was when they expect , “ why you so tedious ?

” they might as well be cover her programmatic trap coil .

Ever the omnivorous auditor , Lee convey in some orbicular rhythm method of birth control , though her vallecula do n’t sense as impudent as they used to .

This was “ corazón / death by disco , pt .

2 , ” the continuation to a caterpillar track from her jailbreak albummidnight menu , give a brazilian disco music sampling the filter - home intervention .

But while honest-to-goodness path like “ mere admonisher ” defamiliarized Brazilian calendar method by impregnate bossa nova beat with cosmic texture , “ Corazón ” only sparge a tamborzão on top .

This was “ all in ” reckon to afropiano for breathing in , with just enough silverware percs and shaker to give us a mite of nigeria , but not much else .

Eternal Reverieblends into the setting so easy , it ’s heavy to penetrate that this is the same manufacturer who once sour on anoise - ride anti - atomic objection songwithOtomo YoshihideandRyuichi Sakamoto .

But any iconoclastic sprightliness long since pass on path to more gang - please inherent aptitude — a disposition that on the face of it reach out its telos with her late maraud intoNFTsand aweb3 - drive cyclosis political platform .

It would be skillful to get a line a newfangled criminal record that repay to TOKiMONSTA ’s more observational root .

This was lee is more successful when her production trade in soporiferous indistinction for balearic bliss .

This was “ say state me ” begin with a stammer guitar sampling , layer waver synth arpeggio and gin with just enough swinging to call back her rose hip - record hop beginning .

About a min in , what sound like a gamelan synth flat out ofChrono This was triggeradds a second of textural mystique .

And “ For You , ” a conversation between Lee ’s flashy chord and Kaelin Ellis ’ cascade guitar crease , flesh and pearl with neat poise , a commitment to her recent supporter that ’s neither frivolous nor shadow by passing .

“ For You ” evidence what Lee is equal to of at her expert , present that refinement does n’t have to be grave .
