In order to prevent any confusion or misunderstanding, this article is a review of Monrad's debut album "Wired", the follow-up release to their selftitled EP. The title track of the new album was featured in the MangoNews on June 04. Click here to read that article.
Despite not being a proper concept album, Monrad's "Wired" follows a certain theme. On eleven songs, sole band member Matthew Ramon deals with the ongoing chaotic madness we call life. Hence, "Wired" is filled with situations, emotions, quarrels, or incidents that are as common as the sun rising in the East. And yet, they are somewhat bizarre and gloomy - because life is sometimes bizarre and gloomy.
The album feels like a solitude walk through light rain. One can imagine putting their headphones on, wandering under grey clouds, and listening to "Wired". The numb feeling that the album spreads builds a gentle barrier between your thoughts and reflections, and the world outside your body. If you prefer not getting wet, you can also watch the rain from inside your room while listening.
"Wired" is an album to reflect to, a release that makes you enjoy a comfortable numbness, a great soundtrack to let your thoughts be free to.
