Excerpt: "New York’s Monocle take out the boring bits and go straight for the jugular with their own brand of space-age pop. The virtually flawless ‘Gaspard’, ‘Green Future’ and ‘Music Of Space’ each boast euphoric choruses bolstered by strong female vocals. Even when they do experiment they pull it off - ‘Agent Earle’ begins in typical retro-futurist style but then twists into a shimmering wall of synths and glacial atmospheres... <em>Outer Sunset</em> is definitely one of the most addictive alternative pop albums I’ve heard in recent years."
