UK Artist of the Week: Monks In The Wood

Since forming back in 2015, South London band Monks In The Wood have received acclaim from the likes of BBC Introducing and When The Horn Blows, and have now released a stirring new single.

“No Love” offers an emotion-strewn grandeur as impassioned vocals are perfectly interwoven with soaring guitar hooks and sweeping layers of instrumentation.

Reflecting on the contrasting feelings that can emerge within relationships, it’s a cinematic slice of indie-pop showcasing not only the admirable musicianship, but the thought-provoking lyrical storytelling of this upcoming band. With shades of Broken Bells, it’ll tug at the heartstrings whilst uplifting one’s spirits with its unique and infectious groove.

Set to charm listeners on first listen, “No Love” marks Monks In The Wood—Matt Power, Daniel Toone, James Oliver, Laurence Brydges, and Samuel Powell—as definite ones to watch throughout 2018.

Catch Monks In The Wood live at the following dates:
13th March 2018 – The Finsbury, London
23rd March 2018 – The Amersham Arms, London
21st April 2018 – The Gladstone Arms, London (acoustic show)

“No Love” is in stores now via Spinnup.
