mr Gnome - Monster's Heart

mr. Gnome are a duo from Cleveland consisting of Nicole Barille on guitar and vocals and Sam Meister on drums and keyboards. They have been making music as mr. Gnome since 2005. 'Monster's Heart' was released as a single with the song 'Sleepwalker' in 2015 - a year after their critically aclaimed album 'The Heart of a Dark Star'. Monster's Heart is beautiful in so many ways. The vocals are spectacular with a ghostly or haunting feel throughout - even when only accompanied by acoustic guitar. The vocals are, without doubt, the key element and they stay true thoughout the song - while the music deviates in all the right places to enhance them. Finishing with a full-on climax.
