A cohesive marriage of soaring melodies, transient textures and poignant lyrical ideas, Glorious Monster's debut album 'Adventures on Earth' embraces a colorful palette of musical ideas in its presentation of both the miraculous and the disturbing aspects of the modern world. An intricate combination of guitars, keyboards, and studio wizardry compliment the soft falsetto of vocalist Brian Casey. Beautiful, haunting, and powerful, Monster's debut is as diverse as it is cohesive, flowing seamlessly from beginning to end as a genuine album.
A two man team in the studio, Glorious Monster is Danny Burke (electronic musician / pianist) and Brian Casey (vocalist / guitarist), who met while studying music at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. In the spring of 2005 they formed their music production company, Skeptic Music, and started making a name for themselves as the production team, The Skeptics. They have written and produced music used in national TV ads for brands such as BMW and Coke, the movie trailers for Rescue Dawn and The Curse of the Golden Flower, and the theme to MTV's Parental Control. They have also worked on scores for several short and feature length films. Recently, Glorious Monster's music has been featured on episodes of MTV's The Hills and Real World.
Monster plans to release remixes of Adventures on Earth, as well as some new material, as an EP in late 2007.
