Monks Of Doom Bronte Pin CD

2017 release from this Camper Van Beethoven offshoot. David Immergl?ck, Victor Krummenacher, Greg Lisher and Chris Pederesen, collectively known as Monks of Doom, release their first new album of all new material since 1993's Forgery this fall on Pitch-A-Tent Records. Recorded over a several years beginning in 2009 The Br?nte Pin continues the Monks' spontaneous forays into the worlds of improvised music, adventurous instrumental work, dystopian paranoia and mind melting psychedelia. Recorded and mixed by Bruce Kaphan (American Music Club, David Byrne, Chris Isaak, The Black Crowes), the album simply picked up where the Monks left off in 2005 with their album of covers, What's Left For Kicks? By measures more aggressive and more laid back than previous recordings, The Br?nte Pin continues in the grand tradition of this exceptional yet reclusive group of musicians, melding myriad influences into a virtuosity hard to define in the world of current music: The Monks fail to fit into any particular indie rock marketing term. They remain untamed, oblique and defiant. They simply are Monks of Doom.
