However it turns out... I wish I had a masterplan. But I don't. I had one. I lost it.
In the first week of every month of 2007 a brand new MLP track was made available for download from this page - ultimately forming the new 12-track Monica's Last Prayer album, 'Prayerbook'. The full track list for the album was 'Blue', 'Valentine', 'Pieces', 'Seasick', 'Land', 'Reverie', 'Omen', 'Prayerbook', 'Youths', 'Clarity', 'Two' and 'Celebrate'.
A CD version of the album is now available - with all 12 tracks being remixed and remastered (and some extensively re-recorded).
Monica’s Last Prayer began life in the early 1990s, as a side project for Paul Broome (at the time guitarist with rising Goth band Earth Calling Angela). In 1996 Mick Mercer called Paul “a modern-day weeping equivalent to Nick Drake” in his book The Hex Files.
After working on several other projects in the early years of this century, Paul returned to Monica’s Last Prayer in 2004 – rearranging and re-recording some of the old four-track songs. The result was the album Another Time, released in January 2005 by Humane Music – a catalog of MLP’s history, and a gentle nudge toward the future.
The album received glowing reviews:
"...this lovely record, is easily representative of the general quality of all Broome-related music, and you are at the start of some enchanting excavations. What comes next will be fascinating."
"…the future is looking very exciting… Paul’s voice is really strong… More of the same please! Recommend that you buy this and support a great independent artist!"
The 2005 album, Transparent, was somewhat of a departure from the reverb-soaked reverie of what has gone before, but it also felt like a natural progression. It has its feet in similar edgy territory to the likes of recent Depeche Mode and The Cure, but at the same time retains a gentle poignancy that is uniquely Monica’s Last Prayer.
We are now live on last.fm as well!!
