The country turned pop singers are almost the outcasts of country music, while the rock groups that include the classical aspect in their songs are accosted with words of praise by their audiences.
Monaco’s hoarse voice is highly reminiscent of Louis Armstrong, and it is just as beautifully foiled with the music as Armstrong’s once was.
Monaco’s far-reaching music appeals to a variety of music, from those looking for an upbeat song to those wanting to remember the good old days, where a banjo was perhaps in style.

 Opus // Music Reviews // Monaco - Music For Pleasure
Monaco is the duo of Peter Hook and David Potts, introduced with the first single "What Do You Want From Me?".
Monaco's music is marked by the immediately distinctive bass playing of Hook, instantly familiar from his membership in Joy Division and New Order.
The highly-sprung dance beat offset by the introspective lyric of a man on the edge of despair; the slow, considered acoustic grind of a ballad in which the singer proclaims his gladness; the chirpy electro-pop tones of the song in which he announces his wish that certain people should hurry up and die.

Monaco is quite different than Revenge, Peter Hook's previous side project from New Order.
Hook and his collaborator David Potts still give the music a cool dance underpinning, but the intention of the duo is to marry the tuneful craftmanship of Britpop with modern sonics.

In fact, neither the band's driving brand of pop, nor the fact that Potts was a dead ringer, vocally, for Hook's former band member Bernard Sumner, exactly hurt: many people, upon first hearing tracks like "Shine" and "What Do You Want From Me?", simply assumed they were advance salvos from some soon-to-be-released New Order album.
As a collection of songs, Music For Pleasure is unexpectedly strong, with "Sweet Lips" and "Junk" fully indulging Hook's Euro-disco leanings.
Their debut 'Music for pleasure' had it all.
