    Classic Steve Davis & Kavus Torabi 'Interesting Alternative' Thumpermonkey Takeover.

    Try saying that with a mouthful of Multi-Cheerios. Here's the first episode where Mike, Sam, Rael and Ben met up with Steve Davis and Kavus Torabi (Cardiacs / GONG / Knifeworld / Guapo). This was recorded just as Thumpermonkey were releasing 2012's 'Sleep Furiously' on Kavus' 'Believers' Roast'

It's the wonkiest of shows. Luckily the full anecdote about having a tiny Anthony Kiedis trapped in one's right eard

    4 (and a bit) celestial bodies out of a possible 5 - NEOPROG review of MMYE.

    S’il ne me restait qu’un jour à vivre, je choisirais d’écouter le vinyle Make Me Young Etc pour le faire tourner encore et encore sur ma platine, jusqu’au dernier moment, pour savourer jusqu’à la fin la musique de Thumpermonkey. Read the full review here:

    Una fantastica recensione italiana di farmi giovane ecc!

    Feeling the love from Italy in this review by Altprogcore... Aggiungendo il fatto che Make Me Young, etc. è in realtà un concept album su un'imminente apocalisse sarebbe stato legittimo aspettarsi qualcosa di più aggressivo, invece i Thumpermonkey ci stupiscono con un'opera complessa, ma estremame

    You have 23 days until the asteroid hits. This may be your last gig until the matrix is re-jacked.

    "Grand Scale Majestic Widescreen" - Progressive Aspect review of MMYE.

    More lovely words about MMYE, this time from The Progressive Aspect . This is a magnificent release, a grower which takes their previous work as a foundation, expanding it in all directions with mesmerising results. Thumpermonkey continue to prove themselves to be one of the most fascinating bands

    Make Me Young, etc

    - The asteroid is coming. Take this useless sadness and throw it away . - You can read the lyrics here before you get a chance to listen to the whole song, which is an unusual way to experience it.
