Tell Me is the highly anticipated album from New Zealand-based melodic drum and bass artist, Monk & Miles, with their signature fusion of atmospheric soundscapes, rolling basslines, and emotive melodies. This release is blending a diverse range of influences into a cohesive body of work that speaks to the soul while making you move.

The album opens with "Close Range," a track that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the project. With lush, sweeping pads and a rolling bass that builds tension and release, it’s a perfect introduction to the artist’s skill for creating deep, immersive atmospheres. The rhythm section is tight, and the melodic elements soar with an elegance that reflects the artist's deep understanding of both the emotional and technical aspects of drum and bass. "Close Range" feels intimate yet expansive, with each beat and note drawing the listener closer into the world the artist has crafted.

Another standout on Tell Me is "Another Step," a track that pushes the boundaries of melodic drum and bass with its intricate arrangements and sophisticated rhythm. The track delivers a captivating balance of energy and introspection, with rolling drums and a melancholic, yet uplifting, melody that evokes a sense of both resolve and longing. The song perfectly encapsulates the album's underlying theme: the constant push and pull between uncertainty and clarity, challenge and triumph.
