Mx Lonely - All Monsters Mx Lonely

In MX LONELY’s world, monsters are multifaceted things. They’re the creatures we used to imagine lurking in the shadows as a child; the all-too-real evildoers who abuse their power or line their pockets with suffering; the vices and flaws that we grapple with throughout our lives, and what we can become while under their grip. On their debut full-length album ALL MONSTERS, the Brooklyn-based band search dark corners, force open doors and exhume these monsters, via a heavy, murky alt-rock sound that’s equally streaked with beauty.
As their first entirely self-recorded release, ALL MONSTERS sees the band — synthesist/vocalist Rae Haas, guitarist Jake Harms bassist Gabriel Garman and drummer Andy Rapp — capturing a live, immediate, analogue sound which embodies the feeling of their live show, while also creating a more longform and nuanced experience than they have before. Going forward, they aim to keep heading out on the road and building a community based on mutual catharsis. “I think that’s kind of the manifestation or the prayer in this, is for everyone to have the space and tools to work through their own monsters,” Haas says. Though committed to introspection, ultimately MX LONELY want to bring others into their world.
