Album lore
Conical Monocle, issued in 2008 on the band’s own Pretty Balanced imprint, collects 15 tracks that weave through dark cabaret and indie-inflected piano pieces. The album’s palette is intimate yet theatrical, with songs like "Halogen Lamps" and "Acid In(Di)Gestion, Part 2" offering a mix of acoustic textures and brooding lyricism. The featured track, simply titled "12," exemplifies the group’s nuanced approach, balancing somber moods with a subtle melodic drive.Emerging from the 2000s indie underground, Pretty Balanced’s work here is marked by its restrained theatricality and a consistent moodiness rather than bombast. With 375,000 scrobbles on Last.fm, Conical Monocle holds a modest but steady place in the lineage of dark cabaret, resonating with listeners attuned to its acoustic and rock-tinged contours.
