This is probably as close to a guarantee as can be offered in the RIYL realm: If “Nightswimming” is your favorite song on Automatic for the People, then you’ll like The Monologue Bombs. And if “Nightswimming” is your favorite R.E.M. song ever, then you’ll marry The Monologue Bombs. A la East River Pipe, early Mountain Goats, and Kleenex Boy Wonder, the Monologue Bombs is really one guy, Scott Phillips, hiding behind a name that suggests a larger roster because the tag “singer-songwriter” just doesn’t serve justice.
