Jennifer Lee aka TOKiMONSTA prefers to work late – or early, depending
on how you look at it. Most of her music is made between two and seven
in the morning, because at that time of night “my mind works in strange
and mysterious ways.” Hence the title of this EP, a series of warm but
decidedly woozy pieces of music, the soundtrack to the oddest, most
beautiful dreams you’ve ever had.
From the bouncing bass-beds of “Bright Shadows,” the
Cocteau’s-meet-LA-Beat of “Darkest (Dim)” (like “Little Pleasures,”
featuring the exquisite vocals of Gavin Turek), on into “Moving Forward”
(which sounds like the music R2D2 makes love to), the driving,
relentless beat of “Day Job,” this is an EP suffused with both warmth
and creativity.
