I've been listening to Apodemus since Orbital Elements, and all their releases have been great so far. That said, I feel like Monotone blows away their old material. Monk is a motorik banger in everything but the actual beat (though it's close). I really dig the way they come through for their album title - each song features a monotone rhythm, but you mostly don't notice it because the music is otherwise so dynamic.
A gem of an album, and worth all of your time.
Favorite track: Monk.
