№ 160 on The 250 Best Electronic Albums of the 21st Century
We Are Monster is microhouse with a crooked grin. Small hooks pop up where you do not expect them, textures wobble at the edges and the groove keeps acting slightly more playful than the genre's tasteful reputation would suggest. 'Jelly Baby/Fish' and 'Mädchen Mit Hase' are not names a tasteful microhouse record gives its tracks.
№ 8 on The 10 Best Deep House Albums
Rajko Müller writes melodies that never quite resolve and rhythms that never quite settle, and the record stays warm throughout in a way microhouse almost never managed. Half of minimal's melodic wing has been studying it since it landed, mostly without getting near it.
№ 12 on The 10 Best House Albums
Microhouse at its warmest and least legible. A slow-release record half of minimal's melodic wing has been studying since.
