FOR MISERY LOVES
COMPANY TOUR

Gloom and heartbreak take a glossy, anthemic turn with the brand new single Misery out today via Greyscale Records from beloved alt-rockers The Beautiful Monument.

Following on from the group’s previous 2023 single, the razor-sharp electronicore delight Hellbound, Misery oscillates with lush and ominous synths, prowling, stripped-back verses and soaring choruses, before building to a salient breakdown as Lizi Blanco declares “I deserve better”.

“Misery is a theme song for those who are completely oblivious to their one-sided relationships. It is the painful reality of a profound sense of loneliness that an individual begins experiencing when their ‘perfect relationship’ begins to crumble and their metaphorical see-saw starts tipping. I wrote this song as an onlooker about a person I know who is very obviously blinded by their warp ed view of ‘love’. Originally my heart broke for them, but there’s only so many times a person can ignore the warning signs before your words turn into mumbled sounds of nothing.” says Lizi Blanco.

She adds, “People don’t always just say things to start fights or belittle you, most times they’re genuinely concerned for your happiness and want to make sure that you’re doing what’s right for you, not just what ‘societal norms’ expect of you.”

Produced by Callan Orr, Misery is a powerful exploration and declaration of heartache and full-blown misery, channeled with empowerment and an ultimately uplifting affect. Also accompanied by a brand new music video today, Misery comes to life using the theme of water as a symbol for cleansing, while also detailing the journey of an individual’s deluded state of mind coming to terms with an imbalanced relationship.
