Missing Mostly Everything

Art Feynman “Monday Give Me Monday”

The first half of “Monday Give Me Monday” is very good, with its appealingly jerky groove and a vocal melody performed in a tone so high and airy I can barely make out the words, but it’s all just preamble. The major feature of this track is the guitar solo which takes up about two minutes on the back half of it. Feynman’s tone is somewhere between the thin, pinched notes I associate with a lot of Afrobeat stuff from the ’70s, and the more sleek and sci-fi feeling of Robert Fripp. I love the way the solo pops off the busy rhythm, and how emotive it gets – definitely much more so than the vocal, which comes off as rather neutral.
