NEW VIDEO "good morning stranger"
Monta - Good Morning Stranger

Add to My Profile | More Videos
Sounds LikeSUNDAY TIMES/UK - 2007

The world view of Monta´s Tobias Kuhn may perhaps be summed up in All the luck in the world, which - the song tells us - "won´t make you happy". On the other hand the superior songwriting of "the brilliant Masses might.

ROLLING STONE/ITALY - 2007 (4/5)

11 tracce di bellezza cristallina, malinconiche al punto giusto, che parlano di solitudine, amore, delusione e dell’eterna ricerca della felicità, con melodie sottili come un sospiro ma potenti come una luce che si accende all’improvviso nel buio.

MUSIKEXPRESS - 2007

Never change a winning Platte: Tobias Kuhn verlässt sich auf Bewährtes und macht auch bei der zweiten Monta-Platte alles richtig. Einer der besten Singer/Songwriter des Landes. Vielleicht sogar der beste.”

SPEX - 2007

Brutal zauberhafte Lieder, die einfach, klar, intelligent und zärtlich zugleich sind. Eine weitere Lektion in Sachen klassisches Songwriting, perfekt und dennoch berührend, vielleicht derzeit wirklich das Beste aus unserem Land.“

SLANT MAGAZINE - 2007

Armed with a strong sense of pop melody, the emo sensibility and vocal accessibility of Ben Gibbard, and the kind of chops that have made the likes of Sufjan Stevens and Conor Oberst household, Monta could very well be the rock literati´s next big find."

BERNER ZEITUNG - 2007

Atmosphärisch, authentisch, sinnlich. Eine der schönsten Platten, die uns in den letzten Jahren aus unserem Nachbarland erreicht haben.

ITALY/BLOW UP- 2005

In other words:The ten songs from where circles begin, are of such crystal beauty, classical and unclouded that they appear like the unshakeable truth. If there would be any justice in this world, this album would sell hundred times better than coldplay.

UK/SUNDAY TIMES/ALBUM OF THE WEEK - 2005

Now that Bright eyes`Connor Oberst has broken through to a more mainstream level, we should exprect a regular supply of new Bright eyes.What we might not have been expecting was that one of the early contenders for the title would emerge from munich.

AUSTRALIA/ 3D WORLD - 2005

A fragile yet dark work of beauty.

ROLLING STONE - 2004

A singer/songwriter album of amazingly high quality that is so clever as to let the songs speak for themselves. Like Kuhn sings in Parachute : Im on my way, no doubt. Good to know.

   About monta
monta is the one-man project of tobias kuhn, formerly singer of miles. He does have a life before monta, besides monta and after monta but monta makes up the centre of it - the bottom line of his musical labour. monta can be tender as a whistle or roaring like thunder, from homly living rooms to a stage somewhere on the globe.

after the ep "always altamont", the highly acclaimed first longplayer "where circles begin" had been released worldwide and made it to album of the week of the sunday times (uk) and the single "i'm sorry" can still be heard as theme song of the japanese counterpart to cnn news. now there's a new single "good morning stranger" and a new album - "the brilliant masses"!

brilliant indeed: a collection of eleven songs which ask for careful listening and instantaneously stare into your eyes. in a language often enciphered and metaphorical yet clearly coherent and radiant as a lighthouse. songs who can alienate people and at the same time spend warmth.

with awareness and luminosity kuhn sums up the things and thoughts that motivate him and get him going. the song titles themselves make up the synopsis: love, estrangement, doubt, certainty, home, getting along, trust, disappointment, capitulation, achievement, loneliness, bliss and the never-ending search. over and over and over again. again and again packed in those awesome melodies which let the world shine in a different light for a moment or a little longer.

monta has grown up and become a dad, also he has been on tour for quite a while and got lots of positive feedback and made lots of friends on the many shows he's played thus far - whether solo or with a continually changing number of great musicians. monta got high rankings in lots of reader and listener charts yet in between there's always the often deflating and painful 'homecoming' process - having to face the things one's neglected, that still have to get done, with yourself and with the 'brilliant masses'.

The result is a nearly disturbingly authentic piece, recorded here and there in between klagenfurt / austria and munich / germany. sometimes all by himself, at times with longtime companions and produced by the artist himself in close cooperation with herwig "fuzzman" zamernik.

"the brilliant masses" is going to be released on monta's own label labelmate in coop with viennese klein records. And that's where we're at the beginning of the text again - as for the story of a man who likes to take matters into his own hands....
