AOTD - Beast



"Beast is a Canadian indie, electronic music duo based out of Montreal, Quebec. Beast's members include vocalist and lyricist Betty Bonifassi and composer/producer Jean-Phi Goncalves.

Beast has been described as "an experimental hip-hop project filled with trip-hop-style down-tempo electronica, aggressive guitars and loud drum beats," or (as Bonifassi describes it) "trip rock".

Beast’s self-titled debut album was made available internationally on iTunes on Nov 4, 2008 and their first single, "Mr. Hurricane", was offered for free on iTunes as the Single of the Week in 6 major markets including the US, the UK, France and Australia. The album's official commercial release date in Canada is Nov 18, 2008, with international releases yet to be announced."

I first heard Beast one night while channel surfing. There at the time new video for the single Mr. Hurricane was playing on Aux (a good music station if u don't know it) the video itself is a pretty good piece and I was suprised that this little indie band had such a high quality video. So I looked them up, gave there album a listen and have been hooked ever since. There beats so agressive, dark and moody. Betty Being such a strong vocalist and for being French with all of her previous work also in French her english comes off really well. Back When they formed, the duo were sitting around hanging out when they started to jam. In almost one take they came up with the opening track Devil, and afterwards they knew they had something so Beast was formed. Bonifassi's vocal stylings on Beast's debut album lean more towards rap and spoken-word. Bonifassi is the main songwriter for the band and the music is composed and produced by Goncalves. The Albums hole tone is Anger, Sadness, really being a "Beast" but the tone of the album comes across perfectly and the dark beats really come off with that sense of just "cool" when listening something you can really get into. This band is really up and coming and is for sure one to look out for.
