A distinctly New York album with a breezy Mediterranean heart, Secret In The Dark is a cunningly crafted record of ‘80s art pop infused with organic leftfield disco tones. Title track “Secret In The Dark” calls upon the genre’s forefathers with its own contemporary edge and irresistible bass line. Featuring Andrew Wyatt (Miike Snow, Mark Ronson), “Shake Your Hands” is a soulful dancefloor-ready single of layered horns, funky guitar, vocals and percussion that build to an epic breakdown. Syncopated, operatic vocals slice into shimmering synths and driving bass, creating a dark, ethereal soundscape on “Stripping.”

“Stripping” premieres with FADER and is available to post & share HERE!

Amassing a dream-team of musicians, Homer Steinweiss, Thomas Brenneck, Nick Movshon, Victor Axelrod, Leon Michels, and others from the Brooklyn scene join Monika on Secret In The Dark.
