MONOSCOPES – Italian Psych Guitar Act Moves With New Silver-Toned Gem ‘THE ELECTRIC MUSE (I WANNA KNOW WHY)’

Daily electricity to load your batteries

9 December 2023

Band: MONOSCOPES
Who: Italian act started by Paolo Mioni, former member of Jennifer Gentle,
spearhead of the Italian psych scene. They released their debut album
Painkillers And Wine last year.

New single: THE ELECTRIC MUSE (I WANNA KNOW WHY)
A piece from their upcoming 2nd album, titled Endcyclopedia
and is out in January via Big Black Car Records.

“Why does one sing a song? Why does one write music at all? What does one want,
what does one aim to achieve? The Electric Muse poses precisely this question in the
song, which counts for Monoscopes as a true declaration of intent, both content- and
style-wise.”

TUTV: What a silver-toned gem. The Electric Muse is a psychedelic slo-mo groove
carried by glowing guitars, reminiscent of Interpol‘s electrifying and gloomy side,
and melancholic vocals. Its crystalline resonance, mesmerising vibrancy and
riveting chorus are heart-and-soul touching.

Monoscopes know how to move and stir the listener. I guess the biggest
motivation to write music is to express gripping sentiments and compose
infectious melodies that strike people’s emotionality. This bittersweet nugget
is a damn fine example.

From the depths of your dreams
Down below I’m calling
Yes I am a believer
And I’m always the dreamer

I wanna know why
You sing to the sky
Come on everybody let me see what you got
I wanna know why
You sing to the sky
Come on everybody let me see what you got
If what you got is good”
