Excerpt: "strong evidence for the innovation still thriving in the genre, stated with real focus and conviction... Monocle do well to set themselves aside from any serious sound-alikes, calling upon the cool melodies of jazz, enforcing a danceable tempo and pouring it all into the classic verse-chorus structure. The end result is fantastic - managing to showcase excellent musicianship, whilst still displaying potential to catalyze the dance floor... As the album progresses into the second half, the sound takes a turn towards the more daring and different... The band manage to slot their sound into these changes perfectly, without forcing an “experimental” feel or disrupting the start-to-finish flow... Overall, <em>Outer Sunset</em> really is a solid record; one that displays much accomplished, with a lot to potentially achieve in future efforts."
