“That’s where the impact is, the emotion is—the swell of the band, the dying back down, pulling it back and pushing it forward. The give-and-take where they’re all fighting within the same space, that’s good music.”

Josh Spacek is a composer and producer from Portland, OR and is the the frontman and principle songwriter for Portland’s Monarques. When not writing songs for the band you can find him in the studio crafting music for licensing and listening to old records.
