“When the world stops spinning, where will we be? When the world stops singing, where will we be?” Powers of the Monk has a very unique style of storytelling, which is rare to find these days. Their idiosyncratic approach makes them fun to listen to. Hiding in layers are deep messages in every line, as their latest release, ‘Sleepy Fields’, humours the intentional lack of wakefulness among the masses, even amidst such shocking, chaotic times. ‘Sleepy Fields’ keeps a stoic outlook that one might not even notice, unless closely followed. With an indie-folk-rock genre, Power of the Monk carefully treads on soft resistance hanging between the borderline of satire and speaking the truth.

“Gentle rain runs down my face, every thought is out of place.” Comprehending the obvious, they run parallel to the nature outside with the nature of their personality. “When the sun is shining, don’t really care.” Beautifully makes fun of human ignorance wth simplicity. “Light comes, light goes, flickers through the little holes, making it so hard for me to see!” Ah! Just like an abstract thought inside a man’s head who’s been busy grinding his mind within the addiction of vicious emotional attachments to his woman. The ‘Sleepy Fields’ tracks a creative journey through the dynamics of human behaviour with stories, very unlikely to be told by many. The silly sob stories of stealing a diamond, and that of poppy slumber deep inside, craftily speak about the need to express, but the compelling odd patterns of being human come in between.
