Monkey3
Monkey3 are a psychedelic rock band from Lausanne, Switzerland that are equal to or better than their more popular counterparts, 35007 and Isis. They have not "broke" here in the States, and they may not ever, but that is no excuse to not check them out. Purely instrumental, these guys at times can be compared to some of Tool's instrumental interludes or even a bit of Pink Floyd. Imagine the Pink Floyd song, Echoes with a harder, more progressive edge. Creating virtual soundscapes that feel like a soundtrack to whatever it is you are doing at the moment you are listening to it, whether is chilling out at your PC or driving in traffic. An absolutely perfect example of headphone music.
"It's the combination of warm and fuzzy grooves with futuristic samples and keyboards, which almost creates a glacial atmosphere that evokes widescreen ice-covered landscapes or lunar mountain ridges. The band created a "wall of sound" that almost qualified for the "colossal" adjective." - Stonerrock.com (http://www.stonerrock.com)
"Monkey3 proves themselves to be a very talented band who deserves to be discovered". - Slamzine
"The music is shooting, full of originality, it meddles in every neurons of your brain like a virus you can't escape. Monkey3 realized an undeniable album." - Transit
"These swiss musicians deliver an overwhelming instrumental album, it sounds like the perfect pact between heaviness and psychedelism. Close your eyes and let these guys take you on a trip... (Stage , Belgium)[/quote][quote]There is here something massive and ambitious, almost solemn that goes further than only stoner-rock, sometimes it reminds of Tool's progressive edge." - Versus Magazine
Monkey3 - "39 laps " (2006)
