Steeped in dark, thematic aesthetics, MONARCH plays indie-driven pop, coated with indulgent, sentimental vocals and a shiny synth veneer. Represented by their love of film noir, their songs have a vintage feel of the 80s and 90s but are modernized with a pure adrenaline rush. The single is the 1st release of the 4-piece forthcoming debut EP Apollo, slated for a Spring 2015 release. “Stay” combines jaw-dropping majesty and sonic invention, showcasing the band’s inimitable vision and talent fully and without cliché. And this is merely the beginning – expect a stacked remix package for “Stay,” featuring Norway’s Bearson and Canada’s Kill Them With Colour, the official announcement of the Apollo EP, and revealing of the band’s live dates next month in Los Angeles.
