COMPRESSION

Feeling over-worked and underwhelmed as a waitress, Twin Cites musician Monica LaPlante used the Covid-19 pandemic as a chance to untangle the weird webs inside her mind. 

Her latest single, “Compression” is an encapsulation of bottled-up anxiousness and uncertainty. Set to vintage drum machines, 70s Funk bass lines, and whacked-out synthesizers, it’s easy to believe The Minneapolis Star Tribune crowned her the Quarantine Rock Queen.
