‘Looking Away (EP)’ by Monotronic

‘Looking Away (EP)’ by Monotronic When you talk about Monotronic, you are bound to hear catchy hooks at some point, one of the music collective's strengths. With ‘Looking Away’, their new EP, they emphasise this status once again and whisk the listener away from their dreary everyday lives with four songs.   The title track itself impresses above all with its upbeat indie-pop drive, which takes a guitar on board and produces an extremely appealing sound. The song is equipped with vocals that maintain the tension over the entire length, so you virtually float through the highs and lows of life. A great start!

From Nature’s Fury to Human Struggle: “These Are Burning Days” by E.G. Phillips

 “These Are Burning Days” by E.G. Phillips

A song that not only reflects natural disasters but also the emotional and societal challenges of our time. E.G. Phillips’ release “These Are Burning Days” combines vivid, almost painterly descriptions of nature with deep emotional and psychological reflections on loss, pain, and the human response to such catastrophes. 
The repeated mention of “burning days” and the chaotic winds that fan the flames underscore the unpredictability and intensity of the fires. The biblical reference to Cain and Abel amplifies the sense of ancient, uncontrollable rage and violence that exists in both nature and the human spirit. 
The musical work masterfully blends traditional elements of folk music with influences from progressive rock, utilising the depth of both genres to evoke even more emotion. 
The result is a song that, thanks in part to the contributions of Kenny Schick and Amberly Rosen, has an infinite amount to offer.
