Music News - Monty Bevins Shares Debut Album 'Time To Bide'
13 August 2021 - 0 Comments
Monty Bevins is proud to share his debut album, Time To Bide, an intricate body of work inspired by fatherhood. Following on from the 7 years of constant touring that fuelled his EP, Traveller, Monty's first two years as a father have prompted him to delve deeply into what slowing down might uncover.
Embracing change, reinventing life, and connecting to the source are themes woven throughout, and with his world challenged and capacities stretched, he goes about digging riches of a reflective and humble nature, building an arc across 10 beautifully written songs.
The opening track Be Here Now, is a frank, uplifting invitation to stand still and appreciate - a fitting introduction to Monty's new chapter. Recorded by Lee Prebble in Wellington's The Surgery, Monty's rich storytelling and soulful vocals float over a warm acoustic guitar, the upbeat energy of the piece belying the weight of the theme - a tale of befriending this self he's been running from. And on it goes, with the conversation between groove and melody carrying the substance of his personal tales. "Ready, aim, fire" - the final words from the last track Distant Hum, dedicated to his son, close this poignant chapter.
Monty Bevins is a New Zealand based singer-songwriter known as a touching, spirited performer, whose soul-folk songs ask the big questions while telling the small stories. With a warm rich voice and articulate guitar grooves, Monty digs out and distills themes of tenderness, personal revolution and adventure.
