“All in all, this is a highly original and fascinating take on punk rock meets new wave that’s dark and discordant yet also full of bouncing energy.” I don’t like copying a label’s press release, but this description of Mononegatives excellent debut LP Apparatus Division is spot on. Mononegatives give listeners a lot to digest. There is so much going on in each song. From cool guitar riffs, to start stop dynamics. From synth parts to Dick Dale-esque surf guitars. From dissonant noise to catchy melodic parts. Mononegative deconstruct rock-‘n’-roll music and create their own thrilling brand of garagepunk on Apparatus Division. Rather than hastily browsing this record (i.e., listening to only parts of some of the songs) I recommend listening to complete songs to fully appreciate the band’s sound. Out now on Big Neck Records.
