Purple/white color vinyl version. Originally released in 2005 on Playhouse, isolée's second album We Are Monster received widespread critical acclaim and was featured in numerous year-end lists, including Pitchfork's Best Albums of 2005, where it is praised for breathing "so carefree, years from now crits might accuse it of sounding timeless -- maybe even of being so." (Nick Sylvester in his Pitchfork review in 2005) While closely associated with the minimal and microhouse movement of the mid-2000s, the sound on We Are Monster resists categorization; its musical vocabulary is too expansive to be confined to a single genre. Tracks such as "schrapnell," "mädchen mit hase," "my hi-matic" and "enrico" avoid many of the production conventions that define its period, allowing the record to retain a freshness that continues to resonate with listeners and music producers alike. We Are Monster proved to be significant in more ways than one. Alongside its musical legacy, the album introduced the first record sleeve by Stefan Marx, whose artwork would become a familiar presence across countless releases on influential labels like Smallville or Mule Musiq, but also fashion labels like Comme des Garçons and many art galleries in the years that followed. This anniversary edition revisits an album whose influence extends well beyond its original context!
