Who'd of thought, the best way to 'get your faces out there' is in fact to hide them. Just ask Monarchy - wear masks on stage, obscure your identity and quickly you'll find yourself with just about every blogger in town musing over your name. Who are they? Are they Hot Chip? Are they Starsmith? No*. But they are awesome. But don't just take my word for it, get their new single here and their album here. Guardian descrbes them as 'a little bit synth-pop, a little bit electro-funk, a little bit French disco, and a little bit Yacht Rock' and they are 4 things we at Club NME whole-heartedly agree with.

*Well actually I can't say that with any authority...in case I hadn't covered it, it's kind of secret.
