Welcome to the Monkey House

The Dandy Warhols

A glossy, synth-heavy pivot into 80s-inspired new wave. Polished by Nick Rhodes, it trades fuzzy psych-rock for neon-lit hooks and ironic, detached cool.

May 19, 2003 · Music On Vinyl

A stylishly detached and playful romp through neon-lit synth-pop and ironic glam rock.

Moments Worth Listening For

The infectious, handclap-driven synth hook that opens We Used to Be Friends.

The way the guitars finally bloom into a hazy, shoegaze wash during the climax of You Were the Last High.

The mechanical, Kraftwerk-lite pulse of I Am a Scientist that feels both robotic and deeply catchy.
