Taking a cue from like-minded Canadian power pop confectioners like Sloan, New Pornographers, and Super Friendz, as well as cult heroes like the Soft Boys and Big Star, Nova Scotian indie rock quartet Monomyth craft hook-laden, psych-tinged slabs of jangle pop/heartland rock goodness. Formed in Halifax around the talents of guitarist/vocalists Seamus Dalton and Josh Salter, bassist Graeme Stewart, and drummer Matt Peters, Monomyth released a handful of singles before inking a deal with Vancouver-based Mint Records, who would go on to issue the band's debut long-player, Saturnalia Regalia!, in 2014. After the album's release the quartet kept a low profile before reappearing in late 2016 with their second album, the more musically diverse Happy Pop Family. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
