Munki

The Jesus and Mary Chain

A sprawling, seventy-minute document of a band fracturing. Jagged feedback, cynical pop hooks, and the sound of two brothers finally letting go.

It's the sound of a legendary band breaking up in real-time, and it's surprisingly catchy.

A sprawling, cynical, and deeply honest farewell that balances abrasive noise with weary pop melodies.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The feedback-drenched bookends of the album where the band simultaneously embraces and rejects their own legacy.

Hope Sandoval's ethereal guest vocal on 'Perfume' providing a fragile counterpoint to the surrounding grit.

The seven-minute slow burn of 'Commercial' that feels like the band's internal tension manifesting as a sonic wall.
