The last time I checked in on MONONEGATIVES, these London, Ontario based synth-punk sensations had just released their incredible album Apparatus Division. Somehow I slept on three additional singles last year and was determined not to miss another one. Well, I kind of did: MONONEGATIVES' new single on Dowd Records, Counterclockwise Interjection, sold out in the 7" and 3" vinyl formats almost immediately upon its release. However, this single is very much still available in digital form and features two of the best tracks MONONEGATIVES have ever done! One of these songs, "Consumer Trust," was meant to be vinyl-only. But after the incredible response to the vinyl release, the band decided to have Tremendo Garaje premiere the song digitally on its YouTube channel. Lead man/creative genius/architect of the madness Rob has declared "Consumer Trust" his legit favorite MONONEGATIVES track ever. With that in mind, Tremendo Garaje took the liberty of reversing the order of the tracks on YouTube. "Consumer Trust" truly is a remarkable track. I love the way this song uses the synthesizer not just as background but as a true artistic tool to create a tone and mood. If you want to hear a full realization of what the genre of synth-punk ought to be, both of these tracks are highly recommended. The strange future is now the present, and MONONEGATIVES have provided the soundtrack!
