Dim The Aurora

Austin's Monahans offer their second album, showcasing their newly discovered pop talents. In order to give these anthemic pop vistas the space they need, the band has balanced the album with a number of predominantly instrumental tracks, including the twenty-plus minute "Terrene". Their music is as enduring as the white sand hills of West Texas after which they were named. RIYL: My Morning Jacket, REM, Explosions In The Sky, Califone.
