Chosen by Monk

My latest choice sees these MIchigan post-modernist powerhouses returning with a slightly revamped line-up and the first taster of their upcoming eighth studio album, which sees them taking a heavier direction, as this cut proves:

Over the years, I’ve been faced with torment; departures, failures, and uphill climbs, singer Leigh Kakaty told us.

It takes a reckoning to strip us to our core and confront our true selves. What endures beyond these trials is who you are, your essence. That is what remains. On our upcoming album, we have dared ourselves to make the most lyrically raw and sonically heavy album of our career. ‘What Remains’ sets the tone of what is to come.

The single also features the debut of drummer Blake Allison, who replaced Hayley Cramer earlier this year.
