Monocle “Lounge Act” – Russ’s Reviews
Excerpt – “Monocle’s lounge act EP will appeal to fans of Stereolab a great deal. Lucy’s sweet vocals give the four tracks contained within a delightful arty affair. ‘Secret Handshake’ is a gentle rumble of drums, some floaty keyboards and the sound of rippling water and then the title track gets even more atmospheric and dreamy. It’s twinkly French pop of the highest order. ‘Car Ride’ is all summery and surf bound and ‘Hawaii’ is a minimal instrumental with lovely twanging guitars and gentle keyboard sounds. Monocle have made an EP that’s continental, airy and delightful.”
