Well we’ve had the review of the Monarchy album this week and now we’ve got details on the next single and the video for ‘Maybe I’m Crazy’.
Monarchy’s new album is finally coming out on Monday. We’ve been following the duo for ages, ever since it was muted that the duo had something to do with Jacques Lu Cont. Sadly this turned out to be untrue, but what has replaced that has been something more compelling; a duo that’s putting the cool and edgy back into the UK synth-pop scene.
Monarchy are amazing. So when the not-so-secretive duo drop a mix you can bet it’s going to be pretty special – and todays gift from the synth pop duo certainly falls into that category.
Mustang have dropped a couple of lovely treats on their Soundcloud just in time for the weekend, first up we have the full bells and whistles remix of the Monarchy’s ‘I Won’t Let Go’. Monarchy are at Coachella this weekend, and should be well worth check out, the remix is out on Moda, on April 25th and there’s even a dub edition.
