about

Half Human was Cosmic Monster's first publicly released demo. Now with new artwork using design elements from the initial release, the songs are available untouched from their original mixes.

Originally released in 2012 under the name Beauty and the Liquidmen, this was an attempt to bridge an obsession with Godzilla/Japanese science fiction/tokusatsu/kaiju and the drive to push instrumental surf and guitar music into strange and unusual places.

Beauty and the Liquidmen was intended to be a functioning band rather than a solo effort, however after several failed attempts to nail down a minimum lineup, these 3 songs were retooled and re-recorded.
