About this album

Monolith finds Kansas tightening their prog-rock craft into a more direct, hard-rocking form without losing the band’s flair for intricate arrangements. Released in 1979, the album followed a run of late-1970s success and featured the hit single People of the South Wind, which became one of the group’s best-known songs and helped keep them visible on the US charts. Balancing muscular riffs, layered vocals and shifting dynamics, the record shows Kansas refining the sound that made them a major American arena act while remaining rooted in the technical ambition of progressive rock.

Genre: Pop & Rock
