Monarch is Maine “holler folk” trio The Ghost of Paul Revere’s fourth studio album, and you should buy it as a Christmas gift for the person in your life who is most struggling with The Age of Trump. No, really — this album exists in this fantastical, nurturing world that we all crave, a starlit, warm woodland in which there are no orange demons, no sexual assault allegations, no healthcare crises, and the rustic barn in which you’re proposing to your perfectly charming lover was a gift from your grandparents, paid for before you ever set foot in it and stocked with a lifetime’s supply of firewood. It’s a comforting, insulated place, charming in its romantic introspection and willfully bereft of any sharp, icy political or socioeconomic threads that impart in us the sense of existential dread that has come to characterize our modern existence.
