Follow on Google News | Hidden Shoal Recordings Release Debut Monocle AlbumPerth, Western Australia and Brooklyn, New York. The Australian music label, Hidden Shoal Recordings have announced the release of the brilliant new album Outer Sunset by New York indie pop outfit Monocle.
From the opening strains of ‘Emmanuelle’ Tracks such as ‘Music of Space’ and ‘Airphase’ Where on first listen it may be easy to finger reference points such as Stereolab, Can and Lush when describing Monocle’s sound and musical vision, successive listens reveal much more. With a charming immediacy that belies its underlying complexity Monocle have produced a masterpiece of magnetic pop. As the last track fades you find yourself immediately reaching over to the play button for another round. On Outer Sunset Monocle have developed the inimitable craft of creating sparkling and polished pop that is laden with a sense of darkness, warmth, humour and mystery. Rich Bennett curiously slept through just about every night of his infancy and grew up dreaming through his days. Involved in many musical projects over the years, he began to retreat back to the bedroom, that familiar place to sleep, dream and play. Inspired by the ethereal-but- “Imagine, if you will, the somnambulant bliss of Broadcast mixed up with that distinctive Slint-style bass, the playful bossa of a throwaway Stereolab B-side and, perhaps most strikingly – a great big nod towards the glamorous-yet- Monocle’s Outer Sunset will be released through Hidden Shoal Recordings on November 27th, 2007. The album will see an initial digital release followed by US CD release early 2008. Hidden Shoal Recordings current catalogue includes releases that slip between the edges of experimental ambient work, shoegazing pop, post-rock and indie rock. The label has earned a reputation for releasing exciting and engaging new independent music that is not bound by genre or style.
