Monarchy are the latest installment in the history of mystery in pop. Very little is known about them apart from the fact that there are two and that the sound they make – swirling, symphonic, electronic bliss-disco with coolly emotional vocals – could have come from two or three times as many musicians. 

Their tale has only just begun, and they arrive fully-formed. They launched with a single song and one image on a MySpace with no friends in late 2009, just an admission of admiration for star constellations to tantalize and intrigue.
