Montt Mardie Introducing: The Best Of CD

2009 release from the Swedish artist. An esoteric hybrid of classical references and pop culture dressed up in a beautifully cut three-piece suit, he is to Noel Coward what Morrissey is to Oscar Wilde. Still only 23, Monty has already released two albums in his native Sweden: Drama and the double album Clocks / Pretender to much acclaim. Introducing... is a lovingly compiled album of full band re-recordings of songs taken from Drama and the best of Clocks / Pretender. A romantic and wistful dreamer, Monty's music has the melody and sing-along-ability that you would expect to spring forth from his eclectic list of influences - Genesis, Prefab Sprout, the Cure, the Temptations, Elvis and Jay Z, to name a few. 17 tracks.
