Monako is a truly international project.
A mixture of Canadian and German musicians loosely centred around Hamburg, vocalist Naomie De Lorimier's Montreal roots add a French influence to the melodies.
It's a dreamy infusion, one that reaches freshly intoxicating levels on new single 'Town'.
A glacial piece of guitar pop that warms to heavenly levels, it traces “the pursuit of a perfect utopia, abandoned to pave the way for the search of a viable model made up of compromises and contradictions…”
Lyrically, it comes from a time of anxiety, when “your mind is racing everywhere and nowhere at the same time. When you’ve tried everything, the only thing that’s left is a surreal, dream-like emptiness.”
Tune in now.
