Single Review: Monsters Of Folk – Whole Lotta Losin (Rough Trade)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 26 November 2009
I went to see Monsters Of Folk recently in London, and they were bloody brilliant. Actually, they were better than brilliant. And this has nothing to do with the fact that I’m quite possibly in love with M. Ward and have been for a few years now. No – it was because they were, and are, the best entertainers from the best possible corners of American music, tied together by their love of bluegrass, Americana and shiver-inducing bottleneck guitar.
‘Whole Lotta Losin’, the latest single to be taken off of the fantastic eponymous debut, is perfect. True story. And there’s something wrong with you if it doesn’t make you at least want to nod your head along to its infectious continuation of the lyrics “by and by”. Catchy from the first play, the song is upbeat; a folksy, country-tinged epidemic of heroic proportions, and will make you love this band whether you want to or not. TW
