Monroe Monroe-Hello Moon CD Release
by Jenn Cohen
Denver favorites, Monroe Monroe, have a new album dropping December 10th. Making up the indie-rock foursome is Bella Abbatecola (Vocals/Guitar), Tavis Alley (Guitar), Matt Morse (Drums), and James Morrison (Bass).
A follow up to Love Wins, Hello Moon will be released on December 10th, 2011, not coincidentally, on a night with a full moon.
When I listened to the album, the first thought that came to mind was U2. I mentioned that to Abbatecola, and he said, “I can’t get away from it. Even when it was just me, recording songs on my own, it was the same thing. And even now, with a full band, it’s the same; I roll with it, there are worse things to be compared to.”
The album plays well for any mood, and I found myself getting lost in the hooks of the melodies. Good stuff here!
Upcoming shows: 12/8 Brick House, Boulder; 12/9 Road 34, Ft. Collins; 12/10 Hello Moon CD release party at the Hi-Dive (with The Photo Atlas and In the Whale). And they have a mini tour in January with Take to the Oars, another local favorite.
Look for a Valentine’s Day EP release, yet to be titled, to drop on, any guesses? Valentine’s Day.
