Colin Munroe is a guy I've heard a lot about, but only actually listened to here and there. He's a bit of an "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride" type artist - every time I see his name it's as a guest spot on a big name album. Apparently he makes his own tunes, although I still have yet to hear one. I thought one of the tracks I'm posting about today was a Munroe original, but it turns out that it's another guest spot. So what the hey! Let's do a guest spot post.
Munroe fits a much sought after type - versatile vocalist that can kill a hook on hip hop, alternative rock, and techno alike. Here's a sampling of his best work.
I really dig "Start A War". The way they work the computerized vocals in with his voice is pretty cool. And I'm a fan of the light techno influence - the song hints at a sort of Passion Pit-y synth focus without going all the way down that path.
The second track, featuring Munroe on a MSTRKRFT tune, clearly does go all the way down that path. Doesn't get much more electro that those vowel-less dudes. But this song is pretty rockin.
And finally, some hip hop. This tune comes from Black Milk's stellar album Tronic. If you haven't listened to this record, you need to get on that STAT.
