Review by Howard Lyon

The First Monday in May: A Cinematic Sonic Journey That Sticks With You Alright, let’s talk about The First Monday in May soundtrack by Drum & Lace and Ian Hultquist. Released back in 2016 on Little Twig Records (props to Alan Douches for mastering this baby), it’s one of those albums that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. It’s not your typical “pop hits” kind of deal—this is more like an ambient, experimental vibe with a dash of electronic flair. Perfect for zoning out or pretending you’re strutting down a red carpet yourself. Why This Album Stands Out First off, the album was made for the documentary about the Met Gala, so right away, you know it’s got some serious style creds. But what makes it stick? For starters, the way it blends atmospheric tones with sharp, unexpected beats feels like walking through a museum where every room has its own secret story. And hey, if you're into fashion or art—or just really good music—it’s easy to get lost in these tracks. Tracks That Hit Different Let me zoom in on two songs that still loop in my head months after hearing them: "Creation Is Meditation" and "Night at the Museum." - "Creation Is Meditation": Man, this track feels like staring at a blank canvas and suddenly seeing colors explode outta nowhere. It starts soft, almost whispery, but then builds into this lush, layered thing that wraps around you like couture fabric. The synths are dreamy without being overdone, and there’s a sense of movement—like watching someone sketch their wildest ideas onto paper. I dunno, maybe it’s because I’m no artist, but this song makes me feel like creativity isn’t as far away as we think. Like, yeah, even I could design something cool... probably. - "Night at the Museum": Okay, picture this: it’s late, the gala’s over, and all the mannequins are chilling backstage swapping gossip about who wore what. That’s basically this track. It’s playful yet kinda eerie, like you’re tiptoeing through empty halls filled with secrets. There’s this bouncy rhythm mixed with these haunting undertones that keep you guessing—is it happy? Sad? Both? Honestly, it’s perfect for imagining scenarios where statues come alive or dresses start talking smack about each other. Final Thoughts You know what’s wild? Listening to this album feels less like listening to music and more like stepping inside someone else’s imagination. You don’t just hear it—you experience it. Whether you’re vibing to the chill vibes of "Out of Time" or getting hyped by the pulse of "Speed of Light," there’s always something new to discover. And here’s the kicker: it’s not just background noise. This soundtrack makes you stop and pay attention, like, “Wait, did that track just… evolve into something completely different?” Yeah, it did. So next time you’re feeling fancy or need some moody inspiration, throw this bad boy on. Who knows? Maybe you’ll end up hosting your own imaginary gala while wearing pajamas. Hey, unexpected success can happen anywhere—even in your living room.
