  • Good Things Never Last

    SP61

    Artist: Monastir

    Label: A West Side Fabrication

    Time for the second full length album from the great quartet Monastir from Gävle. On a summer vacation, Monastir was founded by childhood friends Marcus Olsson and Magnus Björk. Back in Sweden Fanny Wedmark and Björn Olszewski got drafted and the grain of sand from the Sahara Desert became a solid rock.
    "Good things never last" is also released in Japan by Mediafactory and the band has visited the major cities of the country for a couple of successfully concerts. There’s also a lot of interest for Monastir’s music in American TV series. When their debut album came the papers dubbed Monastir to "the future of Swedish indie rock". This time they're even better! Monastir means energy, intensity and attitude. Join the followers or take heed. Voices of the press: "Monastir will save the indie rock scene" (5/5 - Stefan Andersson, Gefle Dagblad), "...delivers some classics pop melodies with lyrics about love problems..." (Kim Larsson, Nya Wermlands-Tidningen), "...this is the best songs I’ve ever heard from these guys." (4/5 - Erik Süss, Arbetarbladet), "...refreshingly indie pop" (Jonas Fahlman, Norra Västerbotten).
