Review

The fine people at Aquarius Records had this to say... Brand new band from our own backyard brings us 9 impeccable pop songs. Their debut album, "Here Comes The Monolith" sounds more like the work of a seasoned rock mainstay than a rookie's first time at bat. The Monolith successfully harken the sounds of Cheap Trick, Beatles, E.L.O., Big Star and more recently, The New Pornographers. The latter probably most noticeably distinguished by the silky vocal harmonies present in every song. Superbly crafted pop arrangements with heart-snagging hooks, bridges & choruses filled with horn sections and strings are merely the icing on the cake. The cherry on the top is the gorgeous production that is so often sadly lacking from debut releases. Highly recommended!

Seattle's Barsuk Records, home to Death Cab For Cutie, Rilo Kiley, and John Vanderslice, recently featured 3 tracks off Here Comes…, and said... San Francisco's The Monolith have a definite '60s sound to their music, without losing a modern edge. Described by the SF Guardian as "time-capsule rock dug up by a spacy Nord synthesizer", they mix synths, rock guitars, trumpets and strings, produced in an eclectic yet accessible way.

From UK based Fanzine Audio Junkies... In a ilk similar to that of Beulah and Apples In Stereo, The Monolith play around with infectious keyboard refrains and bold guitars whilst giving each song a sprinkling of luscious harmonies and not forgetting those boy/girl vocals. With nine beautifully crafted and arranged pop songs (and ending with a pop "trilogy" that, although sounds a little tedious, actually works), 'Here Comes...' is a record you just want to tear the wrapping off as quickly as possible to gobble up all of its treats. It's well worth it and the aftertaste is to die for!!!
