Kansas City (USA)-based post-punk band Monta Ad Odds recently unveiled their new single, "Forget About You". The song is a dark-natured opus about resisting attraction, especially when the bond proves hazardous. Vocalist, Mikal pleads in desperation against the "bite" while a relentless, driving rhythm and entwined guitar and bass riffs explore the inevitable consequences. The tune answers its call as it produces a mesmeric swirl one gets lost in - forgetting life's dangers. Even if just for the song's moment, it is entirely possible.
Monta Ad Odds have minimized to a tight, feisty trio with Mikal on vocals, Krysztof wielding the baritone guitar, and founding member Dedric polymathing on all other sonics, Monta Ad Odds unleash a determined and danceable mixture of eras past and present to match this raw but crisp sound.
It's a strange time to be making music. Amid this bizarre attention economy, it's hard to retrain our minds to sit still for an entire song. We are in constant states of flux. Kansas City's resident post-punkers Monta Ad Odds find themselves in that same state of change now. The band is finding freedom in the moment, wherever it takes them. Link
