Adding to their quickly evolving discography, today’s release explores the social stresses of being young in a new city, eschewing the sound of their two singles previous for one that embodies instead a tense no-wave and post-punk complexity and charisma. Brief but incredibly intricate, “Irish Goodbye” is a driving, propulsive track that sees the band reaching new sonic heights.
Monobloc share a self-directed video for the track, again shot in New York City and self-directed by the group.
The band’s first two singles, “Where is My Garden” and “I’m Just Trying To Love You”, presented a band who arrived fully-formed, pushing the envelope with forward-thinking guitar arrangements and widescreen melodies. The debut songs were lauded by press internationally, including a digital cover at Dork and support from NME, Rolling Stone UK, DIY, So Young and more.
Monobloc’s live ambition has seen the band busy across the summer, including a slot in support of LCD Soundsystem at All Points East, a feverish performance at Rock En Seine and a sold-out residency at Manhattan hotspot Pianos.
The band will return to UK in November for debut headlining shows in Manchester and London, as well as further upcoming international appearances at Corona Capital Festival, Iceland Airwaves and the inaugural United Sounds NYC Festival.
