Monica Richards is back with a blast with her second solo album, NAIADES, featuring guitars and bass by horror writer, Steve Niles. As a writer, composer and singer, NAIADES (named after mythological Greek sea nymphs) adds new elements of Monica's tribal style to harder rock anthems and neoclassical soundscapes. With the addition of Niles's raw style, NAIADES creates an all new level of expression: " a melt-in-your-ear masterpiece, a perfect mix of strength and vulnerability in both sound and vision".
