Mondaze Released New Track; New Album Out November 22

Shoegaze band Mondaze have announced the release of their second album ‘Linger‘ on 22 November via Bronson Recordings.

They have now shared the album’s title track, a song that explores memory and nostalgia—two deeply significant emotions in this era. The lyrics mirror the battle to suppress memories that resurface uncontrollably. Despite the passage of time, the past lingers within, creating a contrast between ethereal melodies and catchy riffs against a wall of sound and shoegaze’s raw sonic intensity. Through “Linger,” Mondaze seek to enhance the melancholic essence of their frustration and anger.

Since forming in 2018, Italy-based Mondaze have defined themselves as “heavy shoegaze”, taking inspiration from bands like genre-giants Swervedriver and Ride, but also contemporary bands pushing through the limits of the genre like Nothing and Ringo Deathstarr. With Linger, they aim to amplify the melancholy tones of their frustration and rage. These sonic characteristics drove them to work with Chris Fullard (Idles and Boris) on mixing, and Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher) for mastering. The result is an album with roots, yet distinctly modern featuring arrangements that skillfully blend contemporary styles with dreamy and eerie atmospheres.
