Marc Calmbach and Ahlie Schaubel’s dueling vocals blend together seamlessly, adding both depth and breadth to the already driving landscape. I find it irritating when a band exerts too much energy in either a) modifying their style to tail a current trend, or b) exert far too much energy in distancing their sound from mainstream rock. Gratefully, Monochrome seem to have found harmony in the middle.br /br /a href=”http://www.transsolarrecords.de/downloads/mp3/Cabin.mp3″Monochrome “Cabin”/a strongspan style=”color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”(mp3)/span/strongbr /a href=”http://www.monochromepopgroup.com/downloads/flimmern.mp3″Monochrome “Gegenstück”/a strongspan style=”color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”(mp3 sample)/span/strongbr /a href=”http://www.monochromepopgroup.com/downloads/gegenstueck.mp3″Monochrome “Flimmern”/a strongspan style=”color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”(mp3 sample)/span/strongbr /br /a href=”http://www.monochromepopgroup.com/”Monochrome: Official Site/a
