So you know the deal ... it's a limited edition lathe-cut vinyl 7" of another new track 'A Sonic Black Hole (Dumbhole)' .. and it will be available for ONE WEEK ONLY between May 9 (TODAY) and May 18, 2013 through Notes & Bolts Records.

As with our previous single it's only available for one week through pre-order and then never again - not at our shows, not through our website or Notes and Bolts', nor anywhere else. So don't sleep!

Each record will also be packaged in a hand made sleeve made from transparency sheets and personalized with the record's number (13/63, for example) along with the name of the record's owner. These are essentially art objects, which is why they're a couple of bucks more than a normal $5 seven inch.

Monk What is a project of guitarist Brian Citro, reinterpreting the music of Thelonious Monk through Jamaican, African and American bass music rhythms. The group focuses on many of Monk’s lesser-known tunes, including early pieces like Humph and Hornin’ In. Steppers’, one-drop and rock-steady beats lay dope foundations for Monk’s music. Drummer Anthony Abbinanti and Bassist Chris Merrill, from Chicago dub stars The Drastics, take a tight and agile approach to these and other styles. Trombonist Andrew Zelm and Trumpeter Shane Jonas complete the group, with fresh looks at Monk’s melodic and harmonic structures.
