Biography
“Properly composed instrumental music can elevate the listener, despite the lack of a human voice. Add improvisational forays into angular alleys and loops and you’ve got N.C.’s The Farewell Monument. The combo contorts delayed sounds, guitar licks, strumming, jazzy percussion and effects into a spacey and experimental world.” -Creative Loafing
“There’s such a thing as no frills and then there’s these guys, who create epic tunes without saying a word. You can totally get lost in it.” -Creative Loafing
“Their first ‘baby’ is three piece albums where each track has >10 minutes. Ten magical minutes with amazing music combined with spoken words and speaches. Great climate!” -A Fragile Hope
“Shit with a vibe like early DJ Shadow, just with a live band and more noise” -Mikal kHill
“Sometimes you guys sound like if Satriani wasn’t a fuck ass.” -The Dying Detective
“Harm’s Way EP is a fine example of post-rock with some spoken words…” -Post-engineering
