Monsters

Description

A record in the form of an ode to the beauty and brutality of adolescence. Tyler Lyle and Tim McEwan have created a unique universe during a musical journey that has seen them transition from cult internet band to #1 on the Billboard Electronic Chart Album. Their expansive sound blends Americana archetypes with a multicolored electronic palette, featuring synthetic touches inspired by film music, deep house, and pop. MONSTERS continues the adventure of an immersive universe created by the band, attracting a dedicated and passionate fanbase – a community of internet culture obsessives, bedroom producers, Tumblr goths, cosplayers, teenagers, and their parents – who have been demanding a new album for two years. Monsters, like adolescence, offers a world where emotions are welcomed with heightened importance, from life to death. The album describes that fragile time when everything that touches us does so in an extreme way, when the sense of reality slips away, and the romance of every moment is heightened. The result is a masterful patchwork of fifty years of electronic pop history, from John Carpenter to Vaporwave and The Weeknd, with eyes wide open, amazed by the infinite possibilities offered by sensations and sound waves.
