A potted history…
Monica’s Last Prayer began life in the early 1990s, as a side project for Paul Broome (guitarist with Goth band Earth Calling Angela). Several 4-track demo cassettes were recorded and circulated in the mid-90s. In 1996 Mick Mercer called Paul “a modern-day weeping equivalent to Nick Drake” in his book The Hex Files. After working on several other projects in the early years of this century, Paul returned to Monica’s Last Prayer in 2004 – rearranging and re-recording some of the old four-track songs. The result was the album Another Time, released in January 2005 by Humane Music – a catalog of MLP’s history, and a gentle nudge toward the future.
