It's hard to talk about Scary Monster without mentioning how much they sound like Small Factory. Neal Ramirez sounds like he could be Alex Kemp's little brother, and drummer Carly Marcoux who sings too could be the little sister of Phoebe Summersquash. Scary Monster's self released album is like finding a lost gem, harking back to that golden of the early 90's American indie scene. It's heartfelt, heartbreaking and enthralling. Sadly this is the first and last Scary Monster album since Ramirez has moved from the band's home base of Philadelphia out to Los Angeles. Too bad, I thought I had finally found a band to help me with my Small Factory Fix.
