Monroe & She is a shoegaze duo of a different kind: Massive guitar clouds and spherical ambient waves gently carry an angelic voice over deeply profound songs. Melancholic yet melodic, the music moves between shoegaze, dream pop and indie – and accompanies the listener on the narrow path between doubt and hope to confront one's inner demons.
As truly unique as Matt Monroe and Lea Leone’s music is, so too is their origin: Matt’s raucous, unfiltered and spherical music, created in the pulsating heart of Brooklyn, found Lea’s ethereal, dreamy angelic voice on a chilly October night in a dim Manhattan karaoke bar. Although close friends for years, they were unaware that their two musical talents would ever merge into a greater whole: Monroe & She. An additional, almost fateful predestination: the two were unknowingly born a few hundred meters apart in the east of Switzerland, as they would learn only 35 years later.
Monroe & She present their song ”Shattered Dreams,” a track in which the soul-stirring layers of classic Shoegaze guitars lay the foundation for a profound story of loss and lament. The lyrics navigate the murky waters of grief, inaction, and the irrevocable passage of time, where once-bright futures are obscured by the shadows of doubt and hesitation.
This track stands as a monument to the moments that slip through our fingers, encapsulated in the metaphor of dreams shattered and dispersed like tears in the rain. As the guitar strings resonate with the weight of what was once in sight but now falls to shadow, ”Shattered Dreams” invites listeners to confront their own shattered illusions and the bitter cost of inaction, all while offering a cathartic release through its lyrical journey. Stay Tuned!
