Our Take
Our Take
A jolly good day to all you musically inclined chaps and chapettes! Allow me, your trusty music reviewer extraordinaire, to guide you through the delightful sonic journey that is MONUMENTS' latest offering, "Phronesis."
From the first note that tickles your eardrums, it's clear that these lads have crafted a masterpiece that is as eccentric as a cup of Earl Grey served with milk and five sugars. The album kicks off with a bang, with tracks like "Descending" and "Leviathan" showcasing the band's penchant for blending intricate melodies with head-banging riffs.
But don't be fooled by the groovy beats and catchy hooks - there's a method to MONUMENTS' madness. Each track on "Phronesis" is meticulously structured, like a fine piece of British cuisine, with layers of complexity that reveal themselves upon repeated listens.
The vocals, courtesy of frontman Chris Barretto, are like a soothing cup of tea on a rainy day - comforting yet powerful. His range is as impressive as the Queen's hat collection, effortlessly moving from melodic croons to guttural screams with the finesse of a true musical maestro.
In conclusion, MONUMENTS' "Phronesis" is a triumphant ode to the British spirit - quirky, bold, and unapologetically eccentric. So put on your best tweed jacket, pour yourself a cuppa, and let the music take you on a wild ride through the streets of London. Cheers!

About the artist
Monuments
Hailing from the gritty streets of Manchester, MONUMENTS is the brainchild of frontman Johnny Stone, a self-proclaimed musical genius with a penchant for boundary-pushing soundscapes. With a sound that can best be described as a fusion of electronic beats, jangly guitars, and haunting vocals, MONUMENTS has been making waves in the indie music scene for the past few years. Their debut album, "Lost in the City," received rave reviews from critics and fans alike, with Pitchfork calling it a "mesmerizing journey through the underbelly of urban life." From the hypnotic grooves of "Neon Lights" to the pulsating energy of "Concrete Jungle," MONUMENTS' music is as diverse as it is captivating. But it's not just their music that sets MONUMENTS apart – it's also their electrifying live performances. Known for their high-energy shows and extravagant stage presence, the band never fails to leave audiences in awe. With Johnny Stone's charismatic swagger and the rest of the band's infectious energy, a MONUMENTS gig is an experience not to be missed. Despite their success, MONUMENTS remains refreshingly down-to-earth, with Johnny Stone often seen chatting with fans at the merch table after a show. With their sophomore album set to drop later this year, MONUMENTS shows no signs of slowing down. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for these Manchester mavericks – they're destined for big things.
