REVIEWS
"Monuments is one of Brooklyn's finest, miraculously so in a borough that overflows with artists.its essence trends to subtle manipulations of space, the sort of attenuated twang that made Crazy Horse revered, and extending soulful harmonies far into the cosmos.you can certainly dig their brand of epic quiet now"
-The Village Voice
"The sci-fi instrumentals of “Silver Star,” swooping vocals on “Not My Own,” the eerie guitar riffs of “Ice Pick Lobotomy,” and the heart-pounding percussion and acoustic guitar on “I’m Here Now,” an eerie retelling of lead singer Gabe Berezin’s near encounter with the World Trade Center attacks."
-The Aquarian
"All together, these musicians each create their own sounds that provide a soundtrack that embarks you on a journey from space to the mountains to a small dimly lit graveyard."
-The Waster.com
"This BKNY quartet is on to something here. They expand with a heavy dynamic of low-end rumble, arpeggioed guitars , pounding drums and the passionate vocals of leader Gabriel Berezin.
-Daggerzine
"They seek refuge in their own brand of creativity, stubbornly independent like a sailor at sea."
-Music Induced Euphoria.com
"Monuments already stands out among the lovesick pop singers and hopefuls looking to make music as hooky as possible. With the intent of questioning fate and the effect it has on all of us, Monuments belt, strum, and crash through this album in a way that is haunting and oddly invigorating."
-Reviewsic.com
"Monuments put their heart and soul into their debut self-titled album. I know what you’re thinking: “no shit, all bands do.” But I’m serious, this album goes beyond the music and hits close to home, especially with lead singer Gabe Berezin. Track four, “I’m Here Now,” speaks of Gabe’s close encounter with the unfortunate tragedy we have all come to know as 9/11.Their last song, “Rescue Me,” is bass-filled and bursting with lyrical energy building a climactic end to an attention-grabbing debut album. In the very last seconds of “Rescue Me” they end with a sound suggestive of a record player coming to a stop; a suiting finish to the conclusion of a successful album two years in the making."
