Paris Monster, the experimental duo known for its genre-defying blend of glitchy beats, groove-driven bass lines, and soul-infused vocals, is gearing up for the release of its highly anticipated new album, Opalesce, on November 4th. Today, the band comprised of multi-instrumentalist Josh Dion, who plays drums, synth, and sings at the same time, and Geoff Kraly, who covers bass and modular synths, has unveiled the album’s final single, “The Brunch Crowd”, exclusively via Live For Live Music.
“The Brunch Crowd” brings everything fans have come to expect from Paris Monster. The song pulses with raw energy, led by Dion’s driving groove, synth lines, and powerful vocals, paired with Kraly’s deep, textured bass and modular synth work. The band’s signature blend of synthesized sound and old-school grit is on full display, creating a volatile soundscape that feels both grounded and otherworldly.
With its dirty, beat-driven rhythms and soaring sonic layers, “The Brunch Crowd” captures the essence of Paris Monster’s ability to bridge the gap between modern and vintage, between garage-rock swagger and funk-inspired grooves. The song builds to an explosive climax before finishing with a delicate, hauntingly beautiful outro, making it a fitting send-off for the pre-release phase of Opalesce.
Paris Monster has steadily built momentum with previous singles “I Can’t Find The Moon” and “Water to the Well”, but “The Brunch Crowd” sets the stage for the band’s most ambitious release yet. Fans can now pre-order signed and unsigned vinyl LPs of Opalesce through the band’s webstore, with shipments ready to go on release day.
To celebrate the release, Paris Monster will perform at The Sultan Room in New York City on November 7th for an album release show that promises to be as dynamic and unpredictable as the album itself. Advance tickets are recommended for what is sure to be a packed house. Following the NYC show, the duo will embark on a European tour, bringing its captivating live performances to audiences across the continent.
With its unmistakable blend of funk, soul, and avant-garde experimentation, Opalesce is poised to be a defining moment for Paris Monster. Listen to “The Brunch Crowd” below, and click here to pre-save/pre-order the album.
