“Like a moth to a flame, the new song is a warning for those that fly too close to the sun.” These are the words of David s. Monk and CasSondra Powers, a dynamic Detroit-based duo better known by their moniker Powers of the Monk. We’ve actually featured the outfit twice before, after falling in love with tunes like ‘Firefly’ and ‘Puffy Head’, and we’re now honoured to share ‘Icarus’ with you, the pair’s brand new single. Let’s dive in!
Folky and dreamy with an almost Americana streak running through it, ‘Icarus’ is a lush and beautifully textured track that feels both timeless and refreshingly new. From the delicate violin work to the almost psychedelic sounds of David’s guitar, it’s a song that invites listeners into the duo’s rich and evocative sonic landscapes.
Powers, once again, puts on a stellar vocal performance, hypnotising all who are pulled into the emotional orbit of the mesmerizing tune, and casting a quiet yet captivating spell. Just outstanding!
Running out of superlatives to describe ‘Icarus’, all I can do is urge you to take the time to listen to it. It’s a magical little track, and Powers of the Monk are quickly becoming a firm favourite around these parts!
