isomonstrosity – “careful what you wish for” (Feat. Danny Brown & 645AR)

The new music collective isomonstrosity is led by producer Johan Lenox (who has worked with the likes of Travis Scott, 070 Shake, and Lil Nas X), composer Ellen Reid (winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Music), and conductor/computer engineer Yuga Cohler. Their self-titled debut album is dropping in November on Brassland. According to a press release, the trio’s goal was “to make a vocal chamber music album using the same process as a contemporary rap album.” They sourced excerpts from composers such as Brassland co-founder Bryce Dessner, had them recorded by the International Contemporary Ensemble, and then chopped them up.
