Monta at Odds release new edit of Hands Trace The Miles

The KC psych sextet Monta At Odds is following up their 2021 album, Peak Of Eternal Light with a compantion remix and rarity album. On it’s second single synthetic moments battling organic nearly take over on "Hands Trace the Miles," a transportive song that questions the meaning of boundaries and ownership in a new age.The song balances the push-pull of our current love affair with technology and our desire to stay in touch with our organic world.

A driving electronic beat pulses with the organic pumps of the heart at a frenetic pace as post-punk guitars swirl in and out of the mix. Floating on top in Mikal Shapiro's chanted vocals about how the earth has been divided by imagined boundaries for centuries and yet with technology it is edging closer to a global community that hopefully will wipe away distrust and greed.

The song will make your body move and challenge your mental perspective touching the mood of your body and soul.
