Bay Area-based MONOPHONICS announced their upcoming full-length "Sage Motel", out May 13th via Colemine Records. The psychedelic soul band, MONOPHONICS, cordially invites you to attend the grand re-opening of the once thriving, once vibrant establishment, the legendary "Sage Motel". A place where folks experience the highs and lows of human existence. A place where big dreams and broken hearts live, where people arrive without ever knowing how they got there. It’s where individuals find themselves at a crossroads in life.
The album announcement comes with a video for the first single “Warpaint,” which is directed by Kassy Mahea, see it below.
"Sage Motel" is the MONOPHONICS fifth studio album since 2012. Once again the album is produced by bandleader Kelly Finnigan. “Warpaint”, the leading single from "Sage Motel", reveals the vices of each resident and confronts the struggles of substance abuse and addiction. Their warpaint becomes compulsory to face the day, tolerate the struggle, get through the hardest parts of the world, humanity, life and to fight the good fight. Cloaked in heavy riffs and robust vocals, “Warpaint” gives you the first look through the doors of the Sage Motel.
What started as a quaint motor lodge and a common pitstop for travelers and truckers in the 1940s morphed into a bohemian’s hang by the 1960s and 1970s. Artists, musicians, and vagabonds of all types would stop there as seedy ownership pumped obnoxious amounts of money into high end renovations, eventually attracting some of the most prominent acts of the era. But when the money ran out, The Sage Motel devolved into a place where you rent by the hour.
If these walls of the "Sage Motel" could talk, this is what they'd say. So join us as we examine where the stories are told and experiences unfold.....and sink into a soft pillow of soulful psychedelia.....down at the Sage Motel. (visit Sage Motel here!)
Today's tune "Warpaint", taken from the bands upcoming fifth studio album "Sage Motel". Enjoy!
