Montero Air-Guitaring With a Sword is Our Musical Highlight of the Week

Melbourne pop prince Montero may now live in Athens but he continues to create cool cartoons and idiosyncratic music.

The video for his latest track “Vibrations”, created by Montero and Maria Damkalidi, and shot partly in his new apartment in the Exarchia neighbourhood, includes masks, fish, swords and some old-school video game action with the UberEats delivery guy.

The track is the first single off his forthcoming soon-to-be-announced album and first new record since 2013’s The Loving Gaze. Montero aka Ben Montero or Bjenny Montero is also a visual artist and his art has graced album covers, t-shirts and posters for Mac DeMarco (with whom he will tour Europe in November), Ariel Pink, Kurt Vile, Pond and others.
