Tapete

The Monochrome Set formed in 1978 and were influential in the post-punk scene. They released albums on various labels, including Virgin offshoot DinDisc and Cherry Red Records. After splitting in 1985, they reunited multiple times for live gigs and studio recordings. In 2010, the band reformed full time and has since toured extensively worldwide while releasing new studio albums. Currently signed to German label Tapete Records, they celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2018 with a global tour and a box set compilation of their work up until 1985. In 2020, another compilation box set was released covering their output from the 1990-1995 period.

New Wave / Post Punk

The Monochrome Set's album Maisieworld. Available here on LP with CD, and Standard CD.

New doors lead into hitherto unexplored corridors, where saxophones, trombones, and trumpets claw at you from the Harlem-brownstone walls which pulsate with the ceaseless beating of animal skins. Echos from a bygone era of expertise race around you as you careen down these sewers of sound, lead guitar solos leap with rusty scimitars, strange organs slither over you on the damp roof, a growling bass snaps at your ankles, a misshapen banjo scuttles across your path, and, all the while, barbarians shake the seed-filled skulls of the dead. Playful vocals sing of your frail organic nature, the sad dreams and hopes that you entertain, and the dismal decisions you make. Scenes of a different imagination tear you like brittle canvas and rearrange your portrait into another's fantasy. Upon your exit from Maisieworld, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that your vessel is now filled with abnormal thoughts. Caution : May contain nuts. And bolts.
