Monta releases new stand-alone single Apples of the Sun

“Apples of the Sun” is a fascinating and hypnotic piece of music, demonstrating the ever-changing moods and styles of the long-running Monta.” - The Pitch KC

A song transforms into a short story which inspires a song and then fantasy becomes reality. 

“On April 28, 2021, during its eighth flyby of the Sun, Parker Solar Probe encountered the specific magnetic and particle conditions above the solar surface that told scientists it had crossed the Alfvén critical surface for the first time and finally entered the solar atmosphere” (source: Nasa.gov).

Monta had been inspired by a Ray Bradbury short story, which in turn had been inspired by a song, and created Apples of the Sun. Speaking to the hubris of humankind and our quest to become our own gods, the song talks about the high self-esteem we collectively place on ourselves as we strive to prove we are as great as the gods of myth and legend. How best to show it? By touching the sun, we claim our invincibility and our eternal status as modern legends. It is an exciting time as we start to surpass what we thought we might never be able to do as we begin our expansion to the stars.
