Argonaut - 'Monet' - Out Monday 25th February on Criminal Records br br Order Album on Amazon: br iTunes: br br Argonaut released their self-titled album late 2012 on Criminal Records. This female fronted 5-piece band have been gaining some great feedback across the industry including that from the likes of NME, 6 Music and XFM. The band had their signing story in Music Connection (USA) and Music Week a few months ago, and are currently playing shows to support their album release. br br The band’s self-titled album demonstrates a mix of their rock influences, including Sonic Youth, Garbage, Hole and The Pixies. From the guitar led grunge of tracks like ‘Touch Electric’ to the stripped back sounds of tracks like ‘Chemistry’, the album represents a band who are not afraid to experiment with their sound and emotions. Argonaut’s next music video ‘More Life’ depicts the band walking through dimensions in search of a second shot at life. br br “You can hear the influences that shape Argonaut in their sound – Hole, Garbage and Sonic Youth definitely – but they aren’t slaves to those influences; this is music of a very high standard and it isn’t surprising that they were snapped up last year by Criminal” 45 br Andy Snipper, Music News br br "Argonaut are one of the best bands I've come across in 2012" 9.510 br Steve, Street Voice UK br br "Pretty good! Kind of remind me of the Cranberries meets Joy Formidable!" br Natasha Grant, Art Rocker br br "A beautiful sound to open up the show with. An oldskool, indie sound - the kind you don’t hear much these days, delicate floating female vocals – really liked that!" br Dave Gilyeat, BBC Introducing br br ‘It’s sparse – but i like that!’ br Steve Lamacq, 6 music br br "Sleazy rock falling somewhere between Royal Trux and Bikini Kill. Promising. 45" br Club NME, Brighton br br "driving tormented fuzzy- post-rocky sounds with moments of dirgy downbeat melody with Lorna’s preoccupied vocal echoing almost as if from the bottom of a lake covered in jagged winter frost.
