Monomyth – Further

Suburban – 2014

Rock, Psych, Kraut, Drone, Stoner, Instrumental

Rated: ****

I fell head over heels in love with their first self-titled album released in 2013. On their new record, Further, the boys from Monomyth move beyond the open arena they created on their first release. This one means to point out that there are no walls, corners or arenas at all. This one aims for the entire universe and leaves you wondering if even that might exist. Slowly, but surely they build and build and build with layers upon layers until finally things have to go boom. It is an explosion of psychedelic, post, kraut and stoner rock ideas without trying to finish anything with the most obvious solution. This is pure adventure and musical adrenaline. But one that needs to be enjoyed over and over before you can grasp its true meaning. It shimmers and it shines and it lures you further and further away from the things you know and understand. But this is good, this is how we like it, and this is music that will touch you on a much deeper level. Further down and further up. And all across the universe…
