With a catalog of over 30 releases, Monk Turner’s concept albums have explored a wide range of subjects, including songs about things that happen in November, December, and January (Holiday Party!), songs about emotions (Emotional Baggage parts 1, 2, 3, and 4), songs about division (Divided States), twelve of the Greek gods of Mount Olympus singing their greatest hits (God Complex), and instrumental songs about Monk’s friends (Instrumental Friends Part 3).
In his concept albums, the songs work together as part of a larger theme. Unbound by traditional constraints, he moves freely between genres, adapting his sound to fit each concept. He frequently collaborates with a freeform collective of musicians, songwriters, and vocalists, each bringing their own unique talents to every project. The result is a catalog that spans decades and is stylistically diverse while remaining unified by his distinctive, unmistakable songwriting voice.
