“...like the Avalanches stuck in Honolulu with visa issues, or the Caretaker on

daiquiri three…pure, distilled escapism…”

“If Martin Denny and Madlib had a fully grown musical lovechild, that harmonious

little stitch-job would no doubt sound like Monster Rally.”

Eclectic producer, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist Monster Rally, today teams up with TV Girl on “Incredibly Blind” featuring X-Cetra. Along with the new single that vocally samples “Wasn’t There” by X-Cetra, Monster Rally shares that his tenth full-length record, Echoes of the Emerald Sands, will be released in Spring 2026 via SoundOn / Flowering Jungle. As he began working on his new record, he gave himself a straightforward set of criteria: Make something unlike anything he’d made before. For someone with tastes and an artistic history as varied as Monster Rally’s, that’s easier said than done.

Venturing into uncharted territory, the upcoming record will be Monster Rally’s first that isn’t purely instrumental. He recruited not just one or two guest vocalists, but a whole fleet of artists and industry friends to sing over his recordings. The list of collaborators includes TV Girl, Jordana, Toledo, Mei Semones, X-Cetra, Leisure, Sessa, Nella, Miles Michaud (Allah-Las), Benét, Jordann, Munya and more. Ditching the tropical, sample-based plunderphonics of his past work, he decided to record everything from scratch in his Cleveland home studio — resulting in some of the liveliest, most vivid music in Monster Rally history.

On “Incredibly Blind,” Monster Rally shared “This is one of my favorite tracks from the new record and I’m really excited to share it with the world. About a year ago I had sent a rough demo of this track to Brad (Petering) with just some drums, bass and mellotron flute loops. He came back with this idea of having X-Cetera on the track for the vocals. I had read a bit about their backstory and was definitely on board.”

Reflecting on his long history with TV Girl, he said, “TV Girl was one of the first artists I had ever done a collaboration with. Going way back to us playing shows in Echo Park to a handful of people over 12 years ago, all the way to a sold-out show with over 5,000 people when I toured with them last year.”

ABOUT MONSTER RALLY:

Ted Feighan has never been interested in staying in one lane for too long — even if that means forging a new lane of his own. When the producer, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist better known as Monster Rally began work on his tenth full-length record Echoes of the Emerald Sands, out Spring 2026 via SoundOn / Flowering Jungle, he gave himself a straightforward set of criteria: Make something unlike anything he’d made before. For someone with tastes and an artistic history as eclectic as Feighan’s, that’s easier said than done.

With Echoes of the Emerald Sands, Feighan decided to recruit a whole fleet of artists and industry friends to sing over his recordings. The list of collaborators includes TV Girl, Jordana, Toledo, Mei Semones, X-Cetra, Leisure, Sessa, Nella, Miles Michaud (Allah-Las), Benét, Jordann, Munya, and more. For the new album, he also ditched the tropical, sample-based plunderphonics that had defined his work since Monster Rally’s 2010 inception, instead recording everything from scratch at his Cleveland home studio.

Before Feighan began his Monster Rally project, he spent his teen and early adult years performing in various bands, including the Myspace-era screamo band Driver Side Impact. Around that time, Feighan also started collecting vinyl, and he found himself particularly drawn to cover art that felt warm and peaceful. Referring back to his lifelong love for hip-hop and the producers famed for their sample-based beats, Feighan picked up a Roland SP303 sampler and pored over his vinyl. Monster Rally was born.

From Monster Rally’s 2010 debut EP to 2022’s Botanica Dream, he mined that vinyl collection for a stream of psychedelic beats that evoked scenes of equatorial climates and lush, faraway landscapes — not unlike the collage-based visual art he makes for himself and clients like Topo Chico, June Shine and Urban Outfitters. Echoes of the Emerald Sands is an unequivocal testament to his adventurous, curious artistic spirit.
