Mojave Grey Release Atmospheric Debut Album, “Monument”

If you were looking for a desert escape from the winter season, look no further than the warmth of Mojave Grey's debut album, Monument.

Comprising Zander Bleck and Michael Pozzi, the rising music duo brand their sound "desert dance music," blending their deep-rooted rock & roll influences with pulsating electronic beats to deliver an 11-track masterstroke. The album kicks off with an introduction of sorts, the self-titled track "Mojave Grey," where Bleck welcomes us with buttery, effortless vocals while Pozzi showcases his instrumental dexterity.

Building upon that ethereal ambience are tracks like "House Of The Sun" and "Heartbeat," which wordlessly describe the meaning of desert dance music: spiritual and traditional, served on a silver platter of contemporary beats.

At times light and atmospheric, Monument often takes skillful, premeditated turns for the dark and brooding. Tracks like "Faith" and "Lone Star" plunge us into dark digital soundscapes as we cling to the light of Bleck's hopeful lyricism.

The ebb and flow between the album's light and dark ambience is drawn from the "rugged landscapes of Joshua Tree," according to a release shared with EDM.com.

“Monument is our desert dance debut to the world," stated the duo. "This album is our conscious offering and statement that we are here to stay. The album is meant to be enjoyed as a listening journey all the way through alone or with friends. On a long drive along the highway or at a party. Lose yourself and transport to a place wherever your own personal monument may be.”
