Before a sea of anonymous eyes, Monta occupies a misty stage to debut "Everybody's Baby," the band's latest alluring take on electrified dreamworld post-punk. Vocalist Mikal Shapiro sings a tale of just-within-grasp stardom and the naked ambition to get there. The otherworldly adoration of unnamed strangers triggers an artist's epiphany. Monta's core players — Krysztof Nemeth and Lucas Behrens on guitars, Dedric Moore on electronics, Matthew Heinrich on drums, and Teri Quinn with additional vocals — accompany this vision with a groovy flow that rings with subtle tensions and chorus-fed uplifts. The song slips into the exotic for the final section, as if fame and fortune transport the protagonist to unfamiliar lands. The stars will only hang overhead for so long.
