At first take, I M Munroe is not easy to grasp. This is certainly pop and alternative acoustic music. It’s presented with little dressing, especially on “One More Day.” The simple percussion and melody line are pleasing but not complex. The duo from Canada released “Fool” as a single a few months back and this tune found some interest around the globe. According to the I M Munroe PR folks “Fool” got airplay in England, Russia, Australia and the United States, in addition to the home country of Canada.
The worldwide tune shows a bit more energy, with heavier percussion and stronger vocals. The instrumentation adds a lot to the song, so it’s not difficult to understand that listeners wanted this one in their ears. Mixed vocals and harmony seem to be musical strengths for the pair. It will be interesting to see how I M Munroe progresses as the lyric writing grows to match the ambitions. Brothers Mark and Ian Munroe have a good start.
“I Am Here” is due out August 2009, according to the Web information. The sample tune by this name on MySpace adds another level to what the duo is trying to do. “Fool” is available for listening and download at: www.soundcloud.com/immunroe
