The reviews for Monument say it all! Monument solidifies their status among the best songwriting and performing partnerships working today. The eleven song collection has a rare depth of quality extending far beyond rote acoustic singer/songwriter fare. This is an all-around excellent package aiming to entertain and illuminate alike. It is informed by traditional music, but there’s a rock and roll spirit burning just beneath the surface. 9/10 Stars-- IndieMusicReviews.com Monument doesn’t sound like anything else out there. The compositions are strong, punchy and to the point. There’s no need for epic length with songs this good. If there were any bad songs, I’d name them, but there aren’t. Monument recalls blues & country rock as much as the elegance of Santana and Al Dimeola. This is truly a return to roots music that is actually worth hearing. BandBlurb.com This music is as real as it gets. Spark & Whisper aren’t afraid to adhere to traditions nor challenge them, which makes Monument a standout record. There are no bad tracks to be found-- threaded with banjo, mandolin, acoustic & electric guitars, a stellar rhythm section, and a cascade of irresistible vocal melodies/harmonies, there are a multitude of pleasures to enjoy. 9/10 Stars-- No Depression Monument contains equal parts cool breeze and nitro-glyceryn guitar riffage. Spark & Whisper can truly do no wrong no matter what style they play in-- like the Moody Blues crossed with Crosby Stills & Nash-- an absolute pleasure in a world in desperate need of REAL music. There’s just so much to dig into on Monument that it will take multiple listens to absorb, and that, my friends, is the mark of a truly good record. GasHouseRadio.com Its the mix of styles and eras that makes Monument something special from start to finish. You hear echoes of Arlo Guthrie, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and many of the great folksingers of yore. Spark & Whisper differentiate themselves from the legends of the past by pumping their sound full of mountain-moving rock, country barn-burners, and even a pinch of jazz-spiced funky rhythms. These cats know how to groove. MusicExistence.com Monument has grit and groove to spare-- hard-edged acoustic licks, jazz-tinged pocket drum beats craft one memorable hook after another. There’s not a bad tune in the bunch. Monument is just that- a monument to a time of great music gone by, brought back to screaming, organic life. 9/10 Stars-- IndieArtistsAlliance.com I hear something new to love on every listen to Monument- full-bodied folk-rock anthems, mini-masterpieces with sophisticated songwriting makes it Spark & Whisper's potential breakout album.
