King Louie's Missing Monuments - Painted White LP

Royal Pendletons, Persuaders, Bad Times, Exploding Hearts, King Louie One Man Band, Kajun SS, Loose Diamonds, Black Rose Band and now Missing Monuments. King Louie Bankston’s impressive band resume has the tendency to make regular folk feel unproductive. There are likely another dozen bands that we forgot to list. And while many of us are familiar with Louie on stage and the Louie that parties your town to smithereens after his set, I must honestly say that this is the hardest working guy we have ever had the pleasure of working with. It is a privilege and honor to announce the release of King Louie’s Missing Monuments debut album Painted White.
Painted White is a testament to Louie’s versatility as a songwriter and his ability to do pretty much anything but rap. Painted White is cleaned up, jangly, full of hooks and Louie’s coarse signature melodies. Stylistically, Painted White covers all the necessary bases. It’s got R’N’R jams, ballads, a super noodley track and our personal favorite, (It’s Like) XTC. Swear to god I thought this was a Raspberries song at first. Look for Missing Monuments on tour with the legendary Paul Collins next month. 100 copies are obviously on white vinyl, and all copies come with complimentary download cards. We’ll start shipping on June 27th.
