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.
