First time ever on vinyl for the 8th album by Anglo-French 'ghost-rock' group, Piano Magic. Originally released in 2007 in CD format only, 'Part Monster,' produced by Guy Fixsen of Laika and producer of the likes of My Bloody Valentine, The Breeders, Pixies and many more, is a hybrid of noisy alternative rock, post-rock and dark folk. This album follows recent successful vinyl re-issues of other Piano Magic albums, 'Artists' Rifles,' 'Writers Without Homes,' 'The Troubled Sleep Of Piano Magic' and 'Son De Mar' and is the last of the band's studio albums to be released on vinyl.

Forming as a lo-fi electronica trio in 1996, Piano Magic's first EP, 'Wrong French' was a favourite of John Peel's (they later recorded a Peel Session for him) and a Single Of The Week in Melody Maker. By 2000, they'd become a full, touring alternative rock group, recording 2 albums for 4AD Records : the soundtrack to Spanish director Bigas Luna's 'Son De Mar' film and 'Writers Without Homes,' most notable for featuring the first recording in 30 years of long-lost folk doyenne, Vashti Bunyan. The album also saw the band's second collaboration with John Grant, back then far from the critically acclaimed torch singer of today. Further collaborators throughout the years included Alan Sparhawk of Low, Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance, Cornershop, and Tarwater.
