   About The Monolith
About Us:
"The Monolith successfully harken the sounds of Cheap Trick, Beatles, E.L.O., Big Star and more recently, The New Pornographers... Superbly crafted pop arrangements with heart-snagging hooks, bridges & choruses filled with horn sections and strings are merely the icing on the cake."- Aquarius Records

"The Monolith's songs nearly burst with far-reaching melodies and orchestrations." - SPIN Magazine

"The Monolith have a definite '60s sound to their music, without losing a modern edge. Described by the SF Guardian as 'time-capsule rock dug up by a spacey Nord synthesizer,' they mix synths, rock guitars, trumpets and strings, produced in an eclectic yet accessible way." - Barsuk Records

To Buy Our Records:
Our new album, "Meet You At The Monolith," will be released VERY soon! Stay tuned!
You can buy our first album, "Here Comes The Monolith," at your local record store or at Amazon, Aquarius Records, or iTunes.

Dolly, I'm glad there's one woman out there not creeped out with my giant photos. I'd put more of me up there, but most of them cut off at the neck.

Oh, Bill. You are so mighty. You are so absolutely huge. I am not worthy.
I just heard the New Pornographers for the first time a few days ago. How's that for lame. I am not worthy of them, either.
I am worthy of this turkey sandwich I am about to eat.
Miss you and April.
Cheers,
Greg
PS Hallo Dahlia, you purty flower who can do the Vulcan voice meld with Bill. I am not worthy of you, either.

Apr 23 2006 2:55 AM

Hey Monolith!!! You speak spanish perfectly!!!

I love your music, it's really special, it takes the best of the past ( 60's ) with the better melodies of the actual Indie Pop.

"Trilogy" reminds me to a mix between Elliot Smith with the melodies of Jon Auer & Ken Stringfellow from The Posies... It´s Brilliant !!! Plus The Beatles & The Who too... ;D
You are great!!! Please come to Spain to play!!!
Muchas Gracias Amigos !!!
Love
