The Works

IF 06

“The sun was down, the light was falling; there wasn’t much time.” So begins the sixth installment of Monofonus’ IF Series, bringing together three local artists to make one new take on pulp.

With his new novella, Mile Marker, author Brian Hart delves into the dark, fully-realized world of star-crossed lovers Smitty and Wolf, whose very lives are threatened by a bad decision, plenty of liquor, and someone else’s money. Meanwhile, Over the Hill‘s sophomore album Looking for a Spark takes us everywhere from prison cells to outer space, a sound as eclectic as the narrative. Like Hart, singer Morgan Coy brings his characters’ worlds to life with his prescient, visual lyrics, worlds where dreams are hot and the taste of blood is in our mouths. The album and book come as one elegant package conceived by the artist and designer Noel Waggener, who brings literature and music together with his uniquely colorful take on noir.
