We are excited to welcome The Monk to our roster with the release of his debut album, Horns.

Horns presents a captivating journey through a dynamic electronic downtempo landscape, featuring seven immersive tracks that seamlessly blend odd time trip hop beats with elements of psychedelia. The album showcases a unique fusion of Balkan brass and warm, lush synth solos, creating mesmerizing atmospheric soundscapes that occasionally delve into dystopian realms. The vocals are utilized as an instrument, enhancing the sonic experience rather than serving as traditional vocal hooks.

The Monk's style, as embodied in Horns, transitions gracefully from downtempo electronic to trip hop, incorporating broken beats and a touch of ambient influences, all wrapped in a psychedelic twist. Prepare to be entranced by this innovative and genre-defying release that invites listeners from all walks of life to explore its rich sound palette.
