MP3: Monahans “We Tremble”
If you haven’t tuned in to the sounds of Austin’s Monahans, you might be missing out on one of Austin’s currently undiscovered great secrets. While the band’s popularity quietly begins to bubble under the surface, they are introducing us to their newest recording, simply titled 2010 Recordings, one track at a time. The band began releasing a track a month in March and today finds us with track number 5 titled “We Tremble” with a short statement about the track from the band:
“Building on last month’s theme, the title “We Tremble” echoes the refrain of a classic eerie-yet-powerful hymn. Please pardon our progress as we plunge into darkness. (As if this Texas summer heat wasn’t oppressing enough!) We recommend revisiting Track 1 or watching Double Rainbow after you’ve heard this one.”
Maybe I enjoy the darkness unknowingly, because I really dig this track.

sounds boring, sounds like a watered down version of a wanna-be Fleet Foxes, Counting Crows, or any other band trying too hard to copy the ideas of others about what is cool currently in emo music.
Sounds nothing like Fleet Foxes or Counting Crows. And the fact that you mentioned those two bands in the same sentence and followed it with a reference to emo music just goes to show that you need to spend a little more time with music before you go shooting off at the mouth and sharing your shallow opinions.
