On Monoliths, Tractor Beam Builds Their Own Sci-fi Folk Universe. [Out October 18th 2024] [Via Good Stones // Calm Water]
On their new single Toronto natives Sasha Balazic & Co. ponder every avenue of the young band's eclectic DIY sound. “I warned you / that we are not alone! / There are monoliths in Johannesburg / There are more popping up every day!” opens the front-person tenderly, over break beats and acoustic guitar. Monoliths is a contemplation on the metropolis; through three & a half minutes the band moves through worlds of acoustic and digital decay before landing on the fuzzy, folky and earnest finale.
