Nice Monster's second release with Grayscale Records is a self-titled EP with seven absolutely brilliant songs in their signature style. The record is full of quickly picked and lovely strummed guitars bouncing and being anchored with wonderful sung lyrics. Unexpected, yet perfect chord changes, hits and cymbal crashes pepper each track with perfection.

Nice Monster's first full-length release by Grayscale Records features 11 cuts with memorable melodies, lush harmonies, compelling arrangements, and challenging rhythms. But don't believe us!...
SACRAMENTO BEE (CA): "a hybrid of folk and indie rock with exquisite harmonies and cool instrumentation"
EUGENE WEEKLY (OR): "Nice Monster and their dense and noisy take on folk is more like a tree falling down than an iceberg idling by."
DAVIS AGGIE (CA): "The five-piece band's first full-length release is riddled with harmonized vocals reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel and poetic lyrics with just enough carefully chosen ambiguity to make its listeners want more"
SACRAMENTO NEWS & REVIEW (CA): "reinventing local acoustic music while simultaneously staying close to its roots: a subtle melding of Rob Crow's Pinback, Thingy and Heavy Vegetable with the quiet, shifting harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel's 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme' and a dash of acoustic math rock (think June of '44 or the changing time signatures of Yes or Emerson Lake & Palmer)."
