The Monochrome Set
Frontman Bid and guitarist Lester Square created a sound that mimics 1960s pop with a jagged edge. Surf rock influences also emerge throughout the tracks.
Released on DinDisc, the record avoids being overly serious. It captures a restless energy that feels entirely distinct from the heavier post-punk acts of the time.
