Monsonic “The Wind”

Oklahoma City-based project Monsonic fuses the digital chaos of human experience through lyrics detailing self-discovery and spiritual clarity. With moods ranging from melancholic angst to love, Monsonic sonically blends noisy/industrial/alt rock with cleaner shoegaze and lofi elements. Monsonic’s upcoming album, In Between, is set to release on October 18th.

The latest single from Monsonic, “The Wind” concocts a blissful rock sound. “‘The Wind’ is a love song detailing the difficulty of releasing freedom and trusting that the Wind will carry you where you’re meant to be,” Masonic explains. “Themes of releasing control, surrender, and reflection surround this tune. It’s inspired by artists such as Jack White, Radiohead, and Elton John.”

“I worked on the album in my bedroom crafting the songs with the intent of creating rich atmospheres and songs that tell relatable stories, while also serving to send a message about how we must maintain balance between the dark and light within us,” the artist says of the upcoming In Between.
“The first half of the album sees more of the perspective of Self and it touts more industrial/melancholic elements with themes of selfishness, pretentiousness, and the dark projection that comes along with it. Track 7 “Easier” serves as the turning point on the album.

Sitting in between the first 6 and last 6 tracks, the song details how difficult it can be to deal with grief as I reference the loss of my mother. Noting that I wish life could be easier knowing that nothing lasts forever.”
“The last 6 tracks take a turn towards understanding the other through love and compassion and boasts a lighter tone, whilst retaining some of the industrial elements – mainly through the vocal FX and less sonically – that help to illustrate that we will always carry the darker parts of us with us. Whether it be a brooding melancholic epic with industrial influence such as “The Dragon’s Head” or noisy, ethereal, love ballad like “Now” the album thematically touches on the relationship between ourselves and others.”
