Hailing from Portland, Oregon, the young turks of Rare Monk have a sonic resilience that’s like everything and nothing you've ever heard. While the obvious signposts are there to guide you (Modest Mouse, Sonic Youth, Phoenix), Rare Monk combine their love of both 90s and contemporary Indie Rock with a fevered Pop intensity, before shooting the whole thing into outer space to see what comes back. As frontman Dorian Aites puts it, “Although we draw upon many genres for inspiration, we’ve been creating our own thing based on nothing other than the idea that, ‘these are the songs we wrote cause they sound cool’”. 

The psychedelic insanity can be traced back to their college roots, when the guys were the go-to band for drunkin‘ dorm rooms and sonic exploration. In 2012 Rare Monk teamed up with noted producer Skyler Norwood (Blind Pilot, Horsefeathers, Talkdemonic) for their self-released EP, ‘Death By Proxy’. The giddy pop thrill of the title track and the funky, slow burn of “Underground” act as the band's mission statement, and according to Dorian, “Is pretty genuine. I think the important thing here is not to try and fit a compartmentalized soundscape, or to try and be different from everyone else; the importance lies in doing what you are passionate about. Passion is genuine.” 

In 2014 Rare Monk release a limited edition 7” AA-side single with new songs “Splice” and “Sleep/Attack” via B3SCI Records. The release was recorded and produced late Summer 2013 in Los Angeles at Wax LTD Studios by Wally Gagel (Best Coast, Muse, Family Of The Year, Folk Implosion). The songs showcase the next frontier for a band who venture toward a lauded career, capturing the sheer energy of an incredible live show, bridging a sound for the masses and that of music appreciation.

Lyrics:

Tired of the war
I was born under gun metal skies
It's not the end, it's not the end
Fire in our cores
They all swore we’d get out alive

It’s not the end, it’s not the end
It's not the end
You can pretend

Back off the brainwash
Clearing the smoke from my eyes (my eyes)
Nothing’s gonna stop me
No one’s gonna get in my way (my way)
And if the night tries to take you in vain
I hope you’ll remain, I hope you’ll remain
And if the night takes you away
I know you’ll remain, I know you’ll remain

Call up the state
They’ll all wait
For their quiet goodbyes

And it makes me sick
We let them win
Guess we lost track of time

It’s not the end, it’s not the end
It's not the end
You can pretend

Back off the brainwash
Clearing the smoke from my eyes (my eyes)
Nothing’s gonna stop me
No one’s gonna get in my way (my way)
And if the night tries to take you in vain
I hope you’ll remain, I hope you’ll remain
But if the night takes you away
I know you’ll remain, I know you’ll remain

We were so naïve

Back off the brainwash
Clearing the smoke from my eyes (my eyes)
And nothing's gonna stop me 
No one's gonna get in my way (my way)
But if the night tries to take you in vain
I hope you'll remain, I hope you'll remain
But if the night takes you away
I know you'll remain, I know you'll remain with me

We were so naïve

It's Not The End
