[archived image unavailable]
The 21st Century Monads are a band that makes music about philosophy. Its current are philosophers Kris McDaniel (Notre Dame), Carrie Jenkins (British Columbia), Ben Bradley (Syracuse), and Laura Callahan (Notre Dame).
McDaniel wrote most of the parts for The World Soul and played an astonishing number and variety of instruments on it (including an oud, a guzheng, stellar flutes, a glockenspiel, a banjitar, many others—and, oh yeah, guitar, bass, and drums).
The album, the band’s seventh, has 17 tracks, including such (for philosophers) evocative titles as: “There’s a Hole”, “Mary”, “The Impossible”, and “Your Noumena Are Ill”. It is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and elsewhere.
The band released a video for its first single from the album, “The Dreamer’s Dream”. Here it is:
