Monday’s Heartbeat, grounded in the essence of collaboration, offers a musical odyssey that dances between the age-old tales that inhabit the history of American music. The sound of the Seattle-based band is both familiar and fresh, as they meld classic instruments with the likes of the Moog synthesizer. The members' passion for music and the joy of sharing it with listeners is the motivation that defines the project. Monday’s Heartbeat is more than just a band — it's an exploration into the true spirit of collaboration.

Act Human is the first release by Monday's Heartbeat. It's a musical voyage helmed by Tremulant label boss Joe Bellingham, who orchestrates a rotating ensemble of Seattle musicians and vocalists. Among those featured on Act Human are Art Butler on acoustic guitar, Sean Donoghue-Neider, known as 'Night Train,' on the harmonica, Daniel 'Danimal' Wilson on the keys, and Brett Vehrs and Kat Larrabee on vocals. Nathan Hall engineers the music and is a vital member of the collaborative. All are united by a shared vision of bridging live instrumentation with dance music.

The title track and "High & Lonesome" are the two originals that lead the single. They both have a remarkably distinctive sound, somewhere between indie dance, midtempo nu-disco, and downtempo cosmicness. Lush rhythms and chord-scapes warmly caress the live instrumentation and rustic vocals. Two remixes of "Act Human" follow, electrifying the subtle dancefloor flavor. Nathan Hall (Akumandra, Heimlich Musik) and Luca Musto (Laut & Luise, Feines Tier) each offer versions that maintain the spacious, midtempo sensibilities but propel the original elements into sublime new contexts for both the club and the listening room.
