Description
The Monolators || Listen
The ultracharming husband-&-wife duo the Monolators have expanded into a full quartet, with singer-guitarist Eli Chartkoff and singer-drummer Mary Chartkoff now joined by bassist Andrew Bollas and lead guitarist Tom Bogdon. Their new 10-inch EP, You Look Good on the Train, which is available only on vinyl or as a digital download (www.ninjastarrecords.com), fleshes out Eli's lo-fi tunes with keyboards, saxophones and other instruments to wonderful effect. Eli croons the offbeat love songs "At the Top of the Stairs" (where he collects sea shells and rhapsodizes about a gal "in pink jeans and tambourines") and "My Weaker Self" with his distinctly unusual, rubber-throated yowl, whereas Mary spits out the jangly title track and the loopy punk rock ditty "Eagle Fighting Zebra" (which is apparently about crazy women brawling at Mr. T's Bowl) like a more melodic Exene Cervenka. - LA Weekly
