Mermonte are an eleven piece ‘orchestral pop band’ from France, they released “Audiorama” back in May and honestly, it’s a complete delight. A whirlwind of different influences colliding, an intelligent blend of conflicting styles that somehow work together, it’s never tiring in its urgency. Mermonte are effortlessly breathing life into guitar pop music, a genre that was beginning to feel lost and pointless, until albums like this one remind you what all its all about.
