Don't you hate it when you put on some hardcore bluegrass radio station, or one with a name like Cowboy's Heritage Radio, and you totally expect this bad-ass music about whiskey and whores and missing your baby that you left behind after you shot some fucker who looked at you cross in the saloon, but then suddenly you hear some really terrible pop-country that once again reminds you why you've stayed completely away from country music in the first place before you realized Johnny Cash was actually kind of cool?
Monkey Swallows the Universe is a lot like that shitty music because it's essentially just straightforward pop music with a tinge of country. This band is different though, because instead of being based on shitty commercial pop from the late 80s and early 90s, it instead uses the UK indie-pop we've all grown to know and love. Monkey Swallows the Universe, therefore, is amazing.
