Manicanparty – "Monarch"

Almost exactly a month ago Manicanparty emerged from the chasms of nowhere to the forefront of many "Pop" idealist's playlists with their debut single "Rebels in the Light." The best part about this is that Manicanparty isn't particularly Pop, per say. In fact, it's hard to pigeonhole them into any particular genre. The audacity has been mustered by some to make comparisons to Fun. (which is particularly bold), yet their lead singer is female, and their music isn't manufactured for Indie-Hipster tweens who need a crowd-pleasing backdrop for their Bat Mitzvah. Simply put, Manicanparty is Indie music at it's finest.

Their new single "Monarch" exhibits the same percussive backdrops and uplifting support vocals that "Rebels in the Light" displayed, but the track takes a more synthesized approach than it's predecessor. It covers an array of characteristics that their previous work was built around while taking an unexpected turn down dance-beat lane towards the end of the song, sparking speculation about what direction they are exactly going towards with their music. It could be that they are simply finding their sound, after all — they are a very new artist. Regardless, Manicanparty has struck gold with their duo of debut singles, and we'll be anxiously waiting to see what their next move will be.

Music Blogger/ Indie Music Consultant/ PR Representative/ Musician/ Artist/ Entreprenuer/ Comedian/ Music World: Contact Me. Upon this day, I declare that Indie music is leaps and bounds more pure than anything else, and the Term "Indie" means not that a band isn't mainstream, but that a band has been able to hold on to its roots, even through fame and fortune. While the wonderful thumps and womps of electronic music gets me grooving, it will always be the Alternative Indie Rock that guides me to the homeland. And for that -- I both thank it and applaud it -- for it has brought me great pleasure in the past and will so in the future.
