SINGLE REVIEW: Monkey Intrusion - Hard Times

Single Review
Written By Amy

A picturesque, delicate, and intense beginning sets the stage for 'Hard Time.' It gradually evolves with a funky, Beatles-esque fusion of lively drums and catchy riffs. This transitions seamlessly into the nostalgic chime of 80s classic rock, featuring a modest yet electrifying solo that transcends into a more ethereal and dreamy sound.

The song then shifts towards a 90s indie-inspired vibe before returning to the powerful solo. 'Hard Times' is fueled by emotion and weaves an intricate tapestry of genres, tempos, and varying impacts, resulting in a grand cinematic musical experience. It's haunting, reflective, and emotive, simultaneously blending different rhythms into a quilt of resonant noise.

The track showcases the versatility in Monkey Intrusion's sound, allowing each member a moment to indulge and pay homage to their musical inspirations.

In conclusion, 'Hard Times' is a captivating and expressive listen that oozes creativity and originality.
