Monde UFO Share Garden of Agony
I have obviously been a big fan of what Monde UFO are doing, bridging a gap between quieted bedroom recordings and bossa nova sentimentality, all of which come to head on the final single from their forthcoming LP. Clearly the guitar strum makes a nod to the Brazilian musical genre, though there’s this whispering vocal that really begs you to use the song to clear out everything else in your head. In listening, you get these odd little notes that seem out of place, but for me, that’s where the song’s of the band get interesting. It’s like they’re trying to distract you from the core beauty of the tune, inevitably drawing you closer into the tune itself. The band will be releasing Vandalized Statue to be Replaced with Shrine on April 21st via Quindi Records.
