Quarter Monkey "KYSA"

Sounds from USA

17/05/2026 |

At a laid-back yet fuzz-drenched 3'29'', Quarter Monkey's "KYSA" is a chill-but-potent stoner-rock burner from the band's sophomore album Got No Name, weaving hazy alternative rock textures with a philosophical undercurrent that explores esoteric mystery before landing on a disarmingly simple, defiant truth: "all I want is a little piece… so look out!" Hailing from Spokane, Washington, the band channels their Pacific Northwest roots into a sound that's both effortlessly cool and quietly intense—reverb-soaked guitars, steady grooves, and a vibe that feels like a sunset drive through pine forests with the windows down. While "KYSA" invites listeners to unwind, its lyrical journey from cosmic curiosity to grounded desire hints at the depth behind Quarter Monkey's laid-back façade, reflecting a band that's been honing its craft since 2007 through West Coast tours, radio features, and packed hometown shows at venues like the Knitting Factory and Bing Crosby Theater. With new material in the works and a steadfast commitment to spreading their original rock across the Northwest, Quarter Monkey proves that sometimes the chillest songs carry the sharpest edge—and the most heartfelt hunger.
