Following the success of their earlier released EP, Sky & The Dark Night, Monks of Mellonwah are well underway to release their next offering to the world.

The three song EP, out on the 29th June, features a brand new single which titles the release. Ghost Stories sets a new tone for the band in more contemporary rock than the indie sounds of the previous release that was only six weeks ago. It opens with clean guitar before a romantically complex drum pattern and effects take over. Vocals by Vikram Kaushik take shape across a set of cleverly written lyrics.

Ghost Stories is an exciting song itself, taking on from the moods left off from their previous work. What I enjoyed the most on their previous EP, is the continuation between songs which is something either the band haven’t done, or done badly but it doesn’t stop each individual song being the power-house that they are.

Vanity leads in with a heavy Muse influence before taking shape as what I’d label a ‘classic’ Monks of Mellonwah sound. Simple but effective guitars over elaborate drums take shape throughout before a dirty distortion kicks in. It is echoed in Sailing Stones too, which is more heavier than the first two songs but still satisfies your hunger. You’ll definitely like if you enjoy the likes of Muse and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Ghost Stories will be the bands fourth EP and production on their debut full-length is in action. After hearing only Sky & The Dark Night and Ghost Stories, I am definitely excited by the prospects of a full album and can’t wait to get my hands on it.
