Following on from singles, 'Pepper Dem', and 'Slick Talk', third single 'Midas' borrows themes and imagery from an ancient allegory about insatiable greed, reflecting on our current reality."Much of the world is run by megalomaniacs who are seemingly never satisfied. As the story goes: Midas runs mad, is ridiculed and loses everything in the end. The song is as much a warning (or curse) as it is a lamentation"

Monzanto Sound are a rising South East London-based music collective fusing together different styles from the African Diaspora with a hypnotic, psychedelic edge and a passion for the alchemical practice of sonic storytelling. Traversing through jazz-inflected funk, psychedelic trip-hop and cosmic neo-soul; they connect the dots using pulsating grooves, hypnotic polyrhythms and soaring vocals. The band consists of Mimi Koku on vocals, Mali Baden-Powell on keys, Wazoo Baden Powell on drums, Anthony Boatright on bass and Rachel Asafo-Agyei on guitar and supporting vocals.
