Montero - Performer (Chapter Music) 2018
8
The winter is dark and cold, but the new album by Australian musician and visual artist Montero will make you feel warm inside. All the songs have that cool summer breeze atmosphere, wonderful for days with friends at the beach.
Inspired by the romantic classicism of golden era love songs, the album sees the artist taking those influences and adding elements of electronic music and especially catchy psychedelic pop –similar to Tame Impala or Pond (Jay Watson, who plays in both bands, was one of the co-producers). The complex instrumentation, full of small details, makes everything feel big and perfectly illustrates how to create accessible yet ambitious pop anthems. This is one of those albums that sounds better the more you listen to it, so go get it and have fun!!!
