Description: | 2017 release from this Camper Van Beethoven offshoot. David Immerglück, Victor Krummenacher, Greg Lisher and Chris Pederesen, collectively known as Monks of Doom, release their first new album of all new material since 1993's Forgery this fall on Pitch-A-Tent Records. Recorded over a several years beginning in 2009 The Brönte Pin continues the Monks' spontaneous forays into the worlds of improvised music, adventurous instrumental work, dystopian paranoia and mind melting psychedelia. Recorded and mixed by Bruce Kaphan (American Music Club, David Byrne, Chris Isaak, The Black Crowes), the album simply picked up where the Monks left off in 2005 with their album of covers, What's Left For Kicks? By measures more aggressive and more laid back than previous recordings, The Brönte Pin continues in the grand tradition of this exceptional yet reclusive group of musicians, melding myriad influences into a virtuosity hard to define in the world of current music: The Monks fail to fit into any particular indie rock marketing term. They remain untamed, oblique and defiant. They simply are Monks of Doom.Limited edition via the Indiegogo platform received a bonus disc advertised at the time of pledge (February 2014) as "a CD of outtakes. At this point we have tracked some 70 minutes of music, certainly not all of it will make the top tier"
When the pledges were finally fulfilled in late 2017, the outtakes CD was limited to only one track of unused material. Main CD is 52 minutes and the track on the outtakes CD is 3:23, so it is unclear what happened to the remaining 15 minutes of music recorded for the session. |
