Damn Monsters! by Dan and Rachel (Brooklyn, New York)
Similar to how I learned that Istanbul was indeed once Constantinople, the tale of the banana was made clear to me through song. Dan and Rachel capture a sound taken less seriously by most but made profoundly important sounding by the dramatic duo. If you feel like you’re watching A Mighty Wind, know that you’re not alone. Damn Monsters is an album that rants about things like the dogshit they step in, in Bushwick. It’s an album that will remind you how fun things can be when you take a break from being all serious and snooty. @Dingusonmusic
