Published in Scotland On Sunday, 30 April 2017 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com [in association with Knockengorroch World Ceilidh Festival] MONKOORA Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday Monkoora is the musical moniker for producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer Julie Fern Crawford.Her new six-track EP (seven including a radio edit of lead single ’Bocx Wurld’), was released last week via Glasgow-based artist management agency and record label Hot Gem. The single has picked up radio support, while last year's mini-LP, ‘Pale Slopes’ is on the eligibles list for this years Scottish Album of the Year award. Monkoora creates bright bubble-gum electronica pop music, but with meaty lyrics exploring sexual politics, and philosophy.We highly recommend seeing Monkoora live as part of Edinburgh’s Hidden Door Festival on 3 June.Listen to Bocx Wurld and Repelling Radios at https://soundcloud.com/hotgemtunes/sets/monkoora-nuclear-bb and more info at www.facebook.com/Monkoora Olaf Furniss and Derick Mackinnon run music industry seminar and social night Born To Be Wide visit www.borntobewide.co.uk Under the Radar is in association with Knockengorroch World Ceilidh Festival in the hills, 25-28 May 2017 featuring Max Romeo, RURA, Molotov Jukebox, Mouse Outfit, Mungos Hi Fi and many more Scottish and international acts.
