New York-based post-punk artist Monograms has returned with his new single, a cover of Bananarama’s ‘Cruel Summer’. The cover became a fan-favourite at Monograms’ lockdown livestreams, so it was only right for us to finally hear a studio version. His version is dense with distorted synths and a trippy texture, but also makes time for some luscious harmonies and great takes on iconic melodies. “As I kept working on it and started moving around the Rubik's cube of the track's tonality into something that felt a bit more comfortable for me, I also realized how bubbly of a tune it seems but then when you peel back the top layer and read the lyrics on their own, the content is actually pretty dark, which was more appealing to me.” It’s taken from him upcoming EP Floors And Ceilings, which is due for release on Friday 18^th June 2021.
