Monta release new single Looking Back

Kansas City post-punk quintet Monta make a welcome return with the buoyant "Looking Back." With thick synth pads, a clubby interplay between bass and drums, rousing guitar lines, and Mikal Shapiro's wafting vocal melodies, the song lends a touch of danceable brightness to Monta's oeuvre. Monta's performance is tightly in sync, making "Looking Back" a live favorite as well as a recorded highlight. Ecstatically, the song transmits the medley of feelings sometimes found through thoughtful introspection. Monta captures the golden ray of sentimentality that washes over us all, a reminiscence of the freedom of younger days as we rush through the present moment. The process of looking back never sounded so good.
