The progressive-jazz-rock band Monika H. Band from Brooklyn, New York will be putting out their second, and latest record Disguised As Umbrellas, We Slept on October 28. This unique band is composed of five members, Monika H. on voice, Jason Lindner on the keys, Grey McMurry on guitar, Rob Jost on bass, and Jason Nazary on the drums. 
The music that they play can only be compared to Björk as both singers have similar vocal stylings. The major difference between the two is that Monika H. Band creates an off tone eerie sound mixture with the vocals and installments. The majorities of their songs are sung about their significant others and sex.
In almost every song, Monika refers to a man that plays a part in her stories, such as the song “Fun To Be Had, If You Let It†and how “he is not there.†On title track “Disguised As Umbrellas, We Sleptâ€, she sings about sleeping with “him,†while the song “Incoming Queen†is about being one with “him†and holding his heart in her hand.
Monika H. Band is one of those diamonds in the rough bands that are not too hard to find, and an eclectic one at that.
