Monsters Are Waiting list several bands on their MySpace that they've toured with, and with due respect to those other bands one gets the feeling listening to MAW's new Ones and Zeros EP (out on Kanine Records on October 14) that they probably blew the headliners out of the water.  It's next to impossible to create a collection of songs as doggedly midtempo while still managing to be playful, sexy and exciting as Monsters Are Waiting have culled for their upcoming release, but the combination of shoegazer noise, hummable synth lines, gloomy pop's clouds with indie rock's bursts of light is undeniable.  Under "sounds like," MAW simply say "Heaven," and you'll be hard pressed to disagree.  And if you don't hear this cover of "I Want to Be Adored," on some TV/film soundtrack this fall, I'm a monkey's uncle.

Sounds like: Metric, Beach House, Johnny Boy
