Monopole

White Town

Sparse, vulnerable synth-pop recorded in isolation. A collection of dry drum machines and deadpan vocals exploring the quiet corners of heartbreak and solitude.

It's the perfect soundtrack for when you're the only person left on the late-night train.

A quiet, persistent ache of urban solitude delivered through fragile electronics.
