The Long Haul of Cercopithecoidea

by Monkey Okay

supported by

Ioannis Valiakos I finished listening to this album an hour ago and I still haven't uttered a word. More daring and experimental than their previous releases, but with seriously addictive pop hooks that stick in your brain. I would have really loved to see their lyrics uploaded so I can experience the album again with both words and sounds. No doubt, Monkey Okay is one of Denmark's best kept secrets in modern rock and this album is testament that only the sky is the limit for their creativity. Brilliant stuff. Favorite track: The Long Haul.

Fistful of DOOM Experimental.. transcendent.. spacey.. captivating..psychedelic delight! In other words you need this album in your life.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) An enthralling mix of post-rock, prog, heavy psych and hard/stoner/desert rock plus a little heady experimentalism.

(ATTENTION: THE ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED DIGITALLY ON DECEMBER 1ST. THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU BUY THE ALBUM NOW, YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO HEAR THE TEASER AND THE FULL ALBUM WILL BE AVAILABLE ON DECEMBER 1ST. WE HAVE DONE THIS TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PHYSICAL RELEASE!)

Monkey Okay’s sophomore album will see the light of day September 12th, 2020. It is an album that can be defined as a gloomy, post-psychedelic, stoner prog-rock album, but mostly the band just call it rock. The band shies away from any strict genre definitions or musical styles, but instead try to employ and encompass whatever sound they feel best conveys the message of any given song - this has lead them to a much more experimental and improvisational way of creating and playing their music; something that is very apparent on the new album.

A Collaboration of Art

Early in the process after the recording of the album’s title track and centrepiece, The Long Haul…, the band began a collaboration with acclaimed Danish artist Peter Max-Jakobsen on the visual aspects of the release. Akin to the uncompromising approach the band applies to the creative process of making music, the collaboration with Peter Max-Jakobsen likewise was uncompromising and took some unexpected turns. He ended up creating a 6,5 feet tall painting inspired by the music. This massive piece was turned into 4 different vinyl editions where both the cover art, vinyl colour and of course the audio are integral parts of the album’s artistic expression.
