Monahans May 6, 2008

The Austin and San Francisco-based band Monahans began in the spring of 2006 as a new project by Milton Mapes collaborators Greg Vanderpool, Roberto Sanchez, Jim Fredley and Britton Beisenherz. The songs have a distinct nautical theme, decisively apolitical, with strands of detachment, nostalgia and spiritual longing stretched across vast sonic landscapes.
