about

Hello there. We’re Monkeys In Love and here’s some blurb for our new album ‘Monkeys In Love Are Ready For The Mountain’.

The album features ten new songs that trace the nervous breakdown and eventual quasi-spiritual rebirth of a beleaguered office worker. Musically speaking, there’s a kind of mid-80s college rock thing going on in our sound this time round and although we’d love to say it was a deliberate artistic choice owing to the alarmingly mid-80s political climate of late, we can’t honestly remember if it was a conscious choice or not.

If you’re already familiar with us and the things we’ve done, then there’s a couple of things worth noting. Firstly, the production’s ever so slightly slicker on this album. It’s still pretty lo-fi, but a lot less lo-fi than previous releases. Secondly, the lyrics follow up on a couple of songs from our previous album ‘Monkeys In Love Live In New Stoke Newington’, but we’ll leave it to you to work out which those songs are and how they relate to this album.

If you’re not familiar with our earlier work, then there’s also a couple of things worth noting. Firstly, not knowing anything about our previous releases won’t impede your enjoyment of this album, which is by far the most accessible thing we’ve done. Secondly, we're planning on reissuing a whole bunch of our stuff in the not-too-distant future, so you’ll soon have the chance to play catch up (if you so choose).

Anyhow, that’s pretty much all we’ve got to say for ourselves for now, apart from the obvious things about us hoping that you buy it and (perhaps more importantly) that you enjoy it.
