With road fables rivaling anything that beset Ulysses Everett McGill, Solyoni attempt to channel the unsettling pathos of the 'true west.'
Bio / Background
Album Summary:
When we set out to work on "Prairie Monsters," we didn't have much of a plan at all. We (Solyoni songwriters Dominic Aulisio and Dan Lurie) were presented with the task of delivering a 1992 Honda Accord from Akron, OH 2500 miles west across I-90 to Seattle, WA. It would be an adventure that would hopefully inspire us and conjure up new ideas and feelings, etc. We see the world around us as absurd, beautiful, heart breaking, inspiring, and hilarious. We just wanted to try and articulate the things we encountered and witnessed, loosely played against the archetypal concept of the 'road record.' What followed is the collection of music on this album. In some instances, there are more conventional songs and melodies reflecting the moods and feelings of what proved to be a somewhat rocky journey. There is plenty of loneliness, uncertainty, and frustration to be had on the road (we broke down twice and actually only made it as far as Buffalo, WY before the car died).
