The Monks - Oh, how to do now (1966)

The Essential Albums: “BLACK MONK TIME”

“If there’s a band, or rather an album, that has managed to earn a degree in avant-garde music for something as primal, rude, and ignorant as garage rock, that band is the MONKS. That album is BLACK MONK TIME. It is a demented rosary in which its twelve mysteries recite anarchic and surreal pacifist messages of burning relevance (Vietnam) and extraordinary premonition mixed with seemingly nonsensical linguistic elements that make one suspect the five monks have overindulged with the eucharistic chalice.”

The Reverend will clarify this very well in various installments... as far as I’m concerned, THE UNIQUE AND INCOMPARABLE ALBUM.
