The Monolith's first album was so good, that label manager Jim Greer practically fell over dead when he heard it. Jim had seen Bill Rousseau (singer/guitarist) for years playing in local fave band Dixie Star and always thought he was something special, but it wasn't until the first Monolith album that Bill realized his full potential. Jim was not wrong: the record came out to subsequent acclaim - it was voted best pop record in the Bay Area by the SF Weekly and was loved universally by all who heard it. The new album is just as good and follows the same path: the Monolith's music is like visiting an old friend: it's familiar, good, and very real. And very universal.

"The Monolith successfully harken the sounds of Cheap Trick, Beatles, E.L.O., Big Star and more recently, The New Pornographers... Superbly crafted pop arrangements with heart-snagging hooks, bridges & choruses filled with horn sections and strings are merely the icing on the cake." - Aquarius Records

"The Monolith's songs nearly burst with far-reaching melodies and orchestrations." - SPIN Magazine
