Psychedelic Stoner Prog-Rock from Outer Space
Your Mind-Blowing Trip to the Universe
Following their latest, much-acclaimed album, Sphere (2019), instrumental psych rock
frontrunners MONKEY3 will herald 2024 with a true album highlight of the new year:
The Lausanne-based four-piece has announced a brand new, cosmic studio offering,
entitled Welcome To The Machine, set for release on February 23, 2024 via Napalm
Records!
Once again, MONKEY3envelops listeners in their unique, cosmic auditory haze.
Welcome To The Machine not only marks their seventh and most epic, dark and
captivating record to date, but will also clearly prove why they are one of the most
exciting instrumental rock bands in the modern stoner and psychedelic rock scene.
Welcome To The Machine’s musical themes are inspired by movies such as 2001: A
Space Odyssey, The Matrix, Sunshine, Solaris and 1984, while unveiling an intense
mankind vs. machines story that instantly launches the listener into deep space. Right
from its first tones, the album immediately emerges as a perfect soundtrack to a journey
into the unknown. Tracks such as "Rackman" perfectly showcase how MONKEY3, who
formed in 2001, are one of only a few instrumental bands that know how to tell an
enthralling story. Welcome To The Machine explores as much as it poses questions. It
is dark and menacing; evoking melancholic destruction while somehow bursting with
hope at the same time, moving between haunting passages and progressive breaks,
mesmerizing grooves and colossal riffs.
