We're very excited that our new album is now complete. We will have copies in hand in the next couple of weeks.  We recorded over three days in June 2007, and mixed the album intermittently between July and September of last year at Track & Field. Our friend John Crouch mastered the album in November. The artwork and design is by Jim Potter, and we're putting it out ourselves this summer.

And we've already begun tracking songs for the next album...

New Monsonia song on WQFS Compilation CD

"Consensus: Celebrating 36 years of college radio at WQFS-Greensboro"

We are included on a compilation now available on Red Strings Records.

Carter was a DJ at the station during his 1994-1998 college days, and the comp features us and other former DJs' bands.

We recorded "Old Man Winter" in July 2005 especially for the compilation with Nick Petersen and John Byrd at Track & Field Recording in Carrboro, NC.

The CD is available from Red Strings Records for $10. All proceeds benefit WQFS 90.9 FM.

The cd features song previously unavailable on cd or unreleased songs by:
