Our Take

Ah, The Monochrome Set, those purveyors of whimsical indie pop have graced us with their latest live album "M80 Concert". And what a nostalgic journey it is, taking us back to a time when jangly guitars and witty lyrics ruled the airwaves.

The album kicks off with the infectious energy of "The Lighter Side of Dating", a jaunty tune that sets the tone for the rest of the concert. Frontman Bid's cheeky charm shines through as he croons about the trials and tribulations of modern romance.

Tracks like "Eine Symphonie Des Grauens" and "He's Frank" showcase the band's signature blend of post-punk and new wave influences, with catchy hooks and quirky lyrics that will have you tapping your feet and nodding along in approval.

But it's not all fun and games, as tracks like "Jet Set Junta" and "Love Goes Down the Drain" dive into darker territory, touching on themes of political corruption and heartbreak. The Monochrome Set prove they can tackle serious subjects with just as much aplomb as their more lighthearted fare.

Overall, "M80 Concert" is a delightful romp through The Monochrome Set's back catalogue, filled with infectious melodies, clever wordplay, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. So grab your dancing shoes and immerse yourself in their charming world of monochrome melodies. You won't be disappointed.
