The Monophonics [2023] - Love You Better (45 Edit) / The Shape Of My Teardrops [Colemine #CLMN-233]


Colemine, having drip fed us with three mediocre singles ahead of it and, dropped the full album "Wait Til I Get Over" from Durand Jones on Friday and the least said about it the better but the clues were there, a strange and confused album. It's not an album for soul music buffs that's for sure, but then perhaps it's not meant to be? It has everything bar the kitchen sink in terms of styles ranging from pure pop (the opening track could be a Beatles song) through country, gospel, jazz, R&B, hip hop but very little soul.

Meanwhile, back on planet soul, the label has released two tracks from The Monophonics last album, "Sage Motel" (released a year ago on 15 May '22) on 45. The single leads with "Love You Better" (we are told that it is a brand new cut for 45) flipped with "The Shape Of My Teardrops".

Available to pre-order from Colemine for release on 16 Jun '23

Monophonics & Kelly Finnigan [2022] - Sage Motel [Colemine Records] (Full Album)


Posting Nicky Egan's EP/album reminded  me of another Colemine release from Friday (13 May 2022) which hasn't been posted yet. It's the latest album by Monophonics & Kelly Finnigan "Sage Motel" which is also available on CD and vinyl. Two tracks have been released (and posted) as singles: "Warpaint" (15 Mar) and "Love You Better" (12 Apr).

I think "Love You Better" is still the standout track with only "Never Stop Saying These Words" and the title track, "Sage Motel", really getting much of my attention on first listen but I think it could well be one of those that grows on you with more plays.
