about

After the long distance collaboration that was Wasting / Your Madness, the Mariana Rivals recorded much of Monument together in California during the summer of 2015. With the addition of Erin Middleton (The Secret History) on vocals and through taking inspiration from the hazy and brutal coast of Northern California, these songs represent a broad exploration into texture, ambience and loneliness.

The title track serves as a bridge between the old and the new as distinct guitar patterns are blended with synthesizers, coalescing around the multiple vocalists. Inspired by post-rock, “Endings" and “Habits” serve as transitional pieces, pacing the proceedings. A central narrative about letting go of what you cannot change, culminates with “Sun Will Rise,” which caps off the affair through stripped down instrumention and a positive, uplifting message.
