Album Review: TOKiMONSTA - Lune Rouge

Prior to recording Lune Rouge, TOKiMONSTA underwent significant brain surgery and temporarily lost the ability to form language or make music.

It's beyond surprising, then, that Lune Rouge represents one of her strongest and most accessible releases to date. Toning down the mania and abstraction of the producer's previous releases while retaining enough detail and experimental flourishes to avoid any hint of sounding generic, Lune Rouge is replete with warm, aching melodies and instrumentation but underpinned by churning currents of jagged programming. Ideally, it will bring TOKiMONSTA's already respected work and profile to even larger audiences.
