Chosen by Monk
My latest selection sees this duo of vocalist/guitarist Rosie Bones and guitarist Carmen Vandenberg trying to ‘Fix’ a relationship where both partners believe they can heal each other’s wounds, only to end up causing more harm, with a song captures the raw emotion and the paradox of trying to fix someone else while being broken yourself, highlighting the destructive cycle that can ensue when love turns into a misguided attempt to mend what can’t easily be repaired.
‘Fix’ is taken from the band’s upcoming second album, ‘Soft’, which has been five years in the making – not that the duo have been idle in the intervening years, releasing singles, remixes and collaborations, and touring extensively with the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, Bush, Korn, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, The Cult, The Struts, Tom Morello, Grandson and Simple Creatures.
Rosie Bones says of the album:
It’s everything you loved about the first record, turned up. Keeping things scrappy, raw and real, with enough electronic beats to keep our industrial dance-heads happy and enough heartbreakers to keep our romantics listening.
- ‘Soft‘ will be released on 13 September via Sumerian Records.
