Monkey Swallows the Universe CD album "The Bright Carvings"



"The best album to be released in the first two months of this year comes from a band with slightly dodgy name involving the word 'Monkey', who come from Sheffield and often refer to the city in the lyrics of their songs. They've had their tracks downloaded from the internet thousands of times
ahead of their debut LP release. The second best album is by the Arctic Monkeys." Sandman Magazine

"Sometimes a band comes along and gives you a few smiles. Sometimes a band comes along and makes you excited. And sometimes a band comes along and sweeps you off your feet. Monkey Swallows the Universe fit into the latter category with ease. Frankly, if you hear a better album this year, I want to hear about it. Then I’ll take you outside and give you a good telling off for being so wrong." Tasty Zine

Monkey Swallows The Universe are a fantastic acoustic five piece who write beguiling songs about love, jealousy, apathy, imaginary friends and pirates! Their bittersweet indiepop sounds have drawn comparisons with the music of Belle & Sebastian, Bright Eyes, Nick Drake, PJ Harvey and Mazzy Star.

Thee SPC are extremely pround to release this album. "The Bright Carvings" is quite simple brilliant from beginning to end. Since we released two tracks as a free download-only single, it has had radio play from John Kennedy at XMF, Steve Lamacq on Radio 1 and 6Music, and Gideon Coe on 6Music.
