Hopes & Corpses

CatMonarchy 'Hopes & Corpses' delivers more of the slow, dark, and moody sound from Ongkara's debut, but also shows that they have a lot of new tricks up their sleeves this time.

It sounds like the band was having a great time branching out and seeing where they could take their sound, and I can't wait to hear where they take it next. Favorite track: Ukiyo-e.
