Onomatopoeia is a literary term for words that sound like their meaning. Examples of onomatopoeia are quite pervasive. Sizzle, splash, crackle, or crash are all prime illustrations. MUNNYCAT’s hot single ‘don’t stop (drip drip drop)’ could, in a way, be the musical representation of onomatopoeia. It literally drips, drops, and sweats bubbly infectious noise pop. The Los Angeles duo razzle dazzles us with a bouncy wagging, airy cavorting bop that, as expected, has become quite an indie darling since it dropped late last month. Glitchy prancing beats and elastic squishing synths are met by mischievous vocal chops and rumbling bass. You won’t want to stop drip drip dropping along to MUNNYCAT and their “hot, hot, hot” ditty. It’s all a bit Superorganism meets Yacht meets Let’s Eat Grandma, but doused in a whole lot more electrifying whimsicality. Keep up with MUNNYCAT via their website, here.

MUNNYCAT share new single ‘The Bygone Goodbye (you got it)’

LA shapeshifting noise pop duo MUNNYCAT is politely walking away from toxic relationships with their new single 'The Bygone Goodbye (you got it)' which they say "is about the growing frustration of trying to meet people in the middle who have no intention of compromising." While they’re usually known for their car-rattling, over-the-top, golden-age hip hop infused electropop jams, MUNNYCAT has taken a detour. 'The Bygone Goodbye (you got it)' howls with raw, organic, indie funk grit. Oozing with lo-fi punk energy, the new single is a sonic departure from their last release - the shiny and sing-songy 'Howya Like Me Now?'.

'The Bygone Goodbye (you got it)' coyly slinks about thanks to the nasty bass groove laid down by collaborating New York City jazz guru Adam DeAscentis (Huntertones, The Zou). Complete with bullwhip, vibraslap, janky electric guitar, and vocals that range from shouting children to vocalist K808’s sexy breathy sedated melodies - this song is the perfect prescription for anyone who ever needed MORE cowbell.

MUNNYCAT says about 'The Bygone Goodbye (you got it)': "For a while now, I’ve really wanted to get Khaled actually singing on a track," says K808. "His voice is all over our stuff with grunts, beatboxes, vocal bass lines - but rarely does he get to wail the way he’s capable of. It’s bonkers! He has an incredible voice and I’ve been desperate to show it off. This is the first time we’re both singing with each other throughout an entire MUNNYCAT track and I love it." Khaledzou adds: "It's more of an indie rock/disco track about leaving the past behind. Sometimes you spend so much energy trying to make amends with situations or people until you realize you're the only one trying. And at that point - you have to move on. We all went through a lot last year and it was something we thought was important to share right out the gates in 2021."

MUNNYCAT wants to be your accountability buddy with new single ‘FULL BRONTO’

LA duo MUNNYCAT strikes back with their new single - an over-the-top, pedal-to-the-floor world dance anthem appropriately named ‘FULL BRONTO.’ Inspired by thumping moombahton beats and chiptune glitches - their new single is an unrelenting attack on half-assedness.

K808: "We wrote it when we were feeling unstoppable. We really believe that you can do anything you set your mind to - but the problem is that you only have so much 'mind' before you run out of energy. "FULL BRONTO" is about focusing on 1 thing and being ruthlessly determined to crush it. For us - that's making our music. We're not doing anything un-focused or half-baked. We're all about doing less stuff - but better."

Khaledzou: "With the production on this one, we were in a hookah bar in Rome and they were playing this ferocious world electronic dance music all night. We left feeling really inspired so we ran back to our hotel room and started laying down beats on our laptop and writing it, even though we didn't have a lot of studio equipment with us. We had a little 1 octave keyboard and recorded vocals under blankets. We even recorded us breaking a souvenir glass to help the chorus hit. We only had one glass  - so only one take.  We added some guitars and stuff once we got back to our real studio. ‘FULL BRONTO’, baby."

MUNNYCAT release new single ‘MILLIONAIRE (jz + bnce)’

LA noise pop duo MUNNYCAT is back to show a softer side with the release of ‘MILLIONAIRE (jz +bncé)’. Best known for their over-the-top, fun and bite-y pop tracks, ‘MILLIONAIRE (jz + bncé)’ plays in stark contrast with their previous singles by focusing on emptiness and out-of-the-box instruments. Drawing more on the sonic influences of R&B than ever before, the song begins with a barely-there track that builds until it shoots listeners off into the void of outer space. 

Speaking about ‘MILLIONAIRE (jz + bncé),’ K808 says: “We made this song while we were on a recording trip in Portland, and we had a lot of really cool organic instruments at our disposal that we don’t usually have access to. So we were having a ton of fun in the studio one day messing around with gear and I remember looking across the room at Khaled and thinking “Oooh, this is like a dream…” and then the rest of the song came out almost like it was already written somewhere in the back of my mind. I couldn’t and still can’t believe that I get to a) make music for a living and b) do it with my soul mate. It’s crazy.”
