Shadows Unleashed: ‘Smoke Show’ by Low Monroe & The Fugitives

‘Smoke Show’ by Low Monroe & The Fugitives

We’re checking in from the vibrant heart of Melbourne, a city that has repeatedly fascinated us in recent days with its rich musical heritage. Once again, the stage belongs to Low Monroe and The Fugitives, who never fail to delight me with their best post-punk side. 
Low Monroe & The Fugitives
Their latest work, ‘Smoke Show,’ is like dancing on a volcano, a musical simmer that gradually builds up and is on the brink of eruptive release. The sonic atmosphere is intense, captivating the listener like nothing else. 
Lyrically, themes of personal decay, betrayal, and confrontation with dark forces emerge. ‘Smoke Show’ is steeped in a moody tone, metaphorically revealing the abysses lurking nearby, hidden yet palpable. 
Inspired by past luminaries of post-punk and the Gothic scene, Low Monroe and The Fugitives are now on their way to becoming a wellspring of inspiration themselves. If you have the chance, don’t miss witnessing this shadow-infused ensemble live!
