Xavier MONAX: Music for the Basses
Xavier Palau, member of post-punk quintet HERE[IN], has collected the pieces he recorded since 2020 for his one-man project Xavier MONAX. The result: an introspective album called Music for the Basses that will be embraced by fans of the Cure in their Faith / Pornography phase. Palau has carefully stacked the instruments (mostly guitar and bass) to give voice to his inner thoughts that keep him awake at night.
Wiht such a long creation process, it is quite surprising that he managed to lay down consistent compositions that somehow fit together. It is obvious that he has given each piece a lot of thought before pushing "rec". The eerie spoken word bits that pop up every now and then will have listeners strain their ears trying to make out what he is saying.
Words about music (854): Nick Lowe
The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.

Garage post-punkers Lemongrab will be on tour in Europe to promote their Another Kind Of Freedom EP: "They can do really fucking fast (Pay To Play) and detached without a care in the world as well (Necessary Condition). It makes the four tracks on their new EP unpredictable in a good way. It is fuzzy, decidedly lo-fi music, wherein separation and careful balancing of the instruments is laughed at".
