IT’S not scary but exciting that paris_monster, the band minus caps but with an underscore, is heading to Malvern for a gig at The Cube.

A spokesman said: “Beat-driven. Employing heavy elements of funk and soul,

paris_monster closes a gap between synthesized sound an garage; between modern detail and old-school grit.

“Solid earth. Soaring soundscapes. A mass of noise. Volatility. Vocal singularity.”

In fact, the band has not been short of glowing accolades.

The spokesman added: “The Deli NYC calls paris_monster ‘a precise, complex and sophisticated mechanism” delivering a sound that ‘could be the new face of American roots rock’.

“In the fall of 2017 paris_monster began recording their first full-length LP, set to be released in early 2019. The album solidifies their dirty, glitchy, lyric-centred, groove-based sound.

“It will be a milepost in their search for a focused and flexible musical approach. Elements of funk and soul join with lyrical themes of bygone eras in rural settings, characters lost, and mortality confronted. Love achieved, and denied. Americana. These themes stand in stark contrast to pounding grooves and electronic mayhem, creating depth and dimensions.”

The gig takes place on Saturday, September 22.
