On Your Bedroom Floor, by Ghost of Monkshood on OurStage



iLike Ghost of Monkshood

WE CREATE:
Avant-Garde inspiration
A unique soundscape incorporating multiple organic and
electronic elements held together by presice vocal
harmonies over a base of catchy, melodic songs.

CONTACTS:
booking
management

PURPOSE:
We aim for musical transcendence through lovingly crafted and detailed compositions that remain accessable, intriguing and inspiring. The love and energy of our live performance is an addiction. The greatest compliment we ever received was that someone was inspired by our album to start creating music of their own.

DISCOGRAPHY:
Cito & The Almond Bear (13 tracks, Oct 2003)
She Flies With Her Own Wings (14 tracks, Nov 2003)
On the White Horizon (13 tracks, Feb 2004)
Spider Through the Fog (17 tracks, Mar 2005)
Lift (12 tracks, May 2008)

Individuality over conformity
Educate yourself to make an informed choice about what you want to do with your life. Stereotypes exist only because of those who choose to believe in them. Know what you want instead of merely wanting what you know. The paths that others lay before you have been walked a million times. Make your own way. Stand up and live the life that you deserve. Don't believe anyone who tells you that everything has been done before. Even a casual glance at history will easily reveal the flaw in their logic. Move your body. Have no fear. You know how to save the world. Don't wait to be told what to do. Live like you mean it. You know the truth. You are free. No one can guide you through life. You must take the reigns for yourself. If you'd like, we could provide the background music.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
- Theodore Geisel

We provide all of our recordings for free to the public. Your donations are greatly appreciated though. Thank you.
