“GRIFFIN PACKS A DOUBLE PUNCH WITH HER VOICE AND HER LYRICS.”

“MONARCHS PLAY MUSIC THAT’S BOTH POWERFUL AND ORGANIC. FA-MILIAR, BUT DIFFICULT TO NAIL DOWN. A VERSION OF SOULFUL SOUTH-ERN-FOLK THAT WAVERS UNSPARINGLY BETWEEN BOOGIE AND DOWN-TEMPO CONTEMPORARY BLUES. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, WHETHER THEY GOT YOUR HIPS SWINGING, OR FORCED YOU TO THOUGHTFULLY RETREAT INTO YOUR HEAD, THEIR MUSIC IS MOVING.”

“FROM SOULFUL TO POPPY, CELESTE GRIFFIN, AKA MONARCHS, HAS THE RANGE AND TALENT TO PULL OFF SEVERAL GENRES OF MUSIC.”

“THE SLOW-BURNING NO DEPRESSION FEEL OF OPENER “GO I’LL GO” PROVES GRIFFIN A TRUE-BLUE SOUTHERN SOUL IN LYRICS AND VOICE, AND HER WAY WITH WORDS ON THE TITLE TRACK POINTS TO A LONG LINE OF NOMADIC SINGER-SONGWRITERS...”

“IT PLAYS LIKE A SUMMER EVENING ON A BACK PORCH WITH A GAG-GLE OF FRIENDS – QUIET MOMENTS OF PONDERING SHADOWS AND COUNTING FIREFLIES, PARSED BY BURSTS OF LAUGHTER & ROLLING IN THE GRASS. THE WOMAN’S GOT RANGE ON HER SOUL AND THE TRIP IS JUST PLAIN FUN.”
