Monika's Avatar brings Athens66 back home
So far, this blog has concentrated mostly on worldwide indie/alternative/pop (and many more genres) music but never actually made any reference to any local bands or artists (ironic for a blog under the name Athens66). Not up until now that is..This is yet another short post prior to a full review. To be honest, the actual review may take a bit longer than hoped for, since I need to get off my ass and head (after some years) to a local record shop and acquire Monika's debut album Avatar. The album was released a couple of days ago (May 19) from Archangel Music. The 21 year-old singer/composer Monika Christodoulou writes beautiful indie/folk songs with influences from most of my favorite artists (from arcade fire to blonde redhead and from cocorosie to lali puna) with her own unique personal style.
There has been quite some hype following Monika and her (awaited) debut album, so I'll be patient until I get my hands on a copy and post an in-depth review. Until then, check her live performance of her single Over the Hill back in February and be sure to check out her other songs on her MySpace page.
