A bulging, limp windsock of apathy. Why is everything so hard? Monumental Flop strives to be a ridiculous objectification and celebration of failure – a mockery of ambition and art world patriarchy. Its soundtrack of recorded sighs speaks to the tension and absurdity of the human condition; the relentlessness of trying and failing, of disillusionment; of the everyday. The instant coffee is stirred ad nauseam and everything ends up down the toilet. Monumental Flop is about doing a bad thing in a good way.
