notes
"Welcome to Monkey Town" is the Recess Monkey album that started it all! It's a series of thirteen kid-driven numbers were originally inspired by the band's experiences teaching kindergarten in Seattle- now remastered with three previously unreleased rarities! Recess Monkey has earned acclaim on NPR, the Washington Post, Parent Map, Zooglobble.com and more for its more recent albums "Wonderstuff" and "Aminal House," but this is the band's origin, a heartfelt tribute to the kids Daron, Drew and Jack teach!

This CD has more of a non-Beatles British Invasion feel to it, with the occasional veering into jangle-pop (the opening "We're Recess Monkey") or even something vaguely Doors-like (but not, you know, "The End"-Doors-like) closer "Math Vitamin."
The best tracks here are the uptempo ones, such as "Monkey Bars," with a muscular guitar line, hand claps, and the occasional "la la la." I also really liked "I Got a Toy (But I Played with the Box)," all about imagination, and with a few nice melodic touches (the "beep-boop" signifying the robotic arm toy). (As for the slow songs, "Can You Build a Bridge?" has some nice lyrical touches - "Can you build a bridge to someone / By tearing down a wall?")
Recommended!
