Hailing from Portland, Oregon, the indie rock band Rare Monk is set to unveil their EP Coronation later this year. Recently, they treated fans to their second single, Missing Forever, accompanied by a visually captivating video shot on super 8. Rather than rushing to reveal their treasures right from the start, the band takes a deliberate “slow-burner” approach, gradually building up to an emotional vortex. It’s at the 2:20 mark where the song takes an explosive turn, unleashing a shoegaze outburst that elevates the entire experience. Missing Forever explores the theme of feeling overworked and burnt out, delivering an immense amount of power and raw emotion.
Rare Monk refuses to surrender in this weary world, demonstrating their resilience and unwavering vitality. Amidst the trials of life, they remain alive and unapologetically kick-ass, refusing to succumb to the challenges of the “worn-out” world we inhabit.
