Jon Langford (the Mekons, Waco Brothers) is such a beloved figure in Chicago, it’s difficult to write an objective review of his music. Yet I can honestly say that his new solo album, Here Be Monsters, is really good. The Welsh singer-songwriter and longtime Chicago resident is best known for his Englishman’s interpretation of Americana. On Monsters, we hear more sonic exploration on songs like Drone Operator. Other standouts on the album include Sugar on Your Tongue and Summer Stars. Here Be Monsters is a solid offering from a guy with an already strong catalog of work.
