Monster Movie "All Lost" 2026 LP

In 2001, while digging through the shoegaze section at Neptune Records in Royal Oak, MI, I came across an unfamiliar CD with a small hype sticker that read: “Featuring members of Slowdive and Eternal.” The release was the s/t EP from Monster Movie. Within seconds of listening, it was clear this wasn’t a side project or novelty release, but something genuinely special.

The following year, Monster Movie released their first full-length album, Last Night Something Happened. Around that same time, I was in the earliest days of running Graveface Records, still figuring out what the label could be and what kind of music it should exist to support. On a whim, and with zero expectation, I wrote to Christian Savill & Sean Hewson to propose a split release with my project, Dreamend. To my surprise, they were open, generous, and seemingly game for anything. That release, Preface, launched Graveface from being just a CD-r label to a label with distribution/PR and 'pressed' discs. 

What began as a casual exchange quickly grew into an ongoing creative relationship. We continued working together by releasing the Transistor EP in 2004 and plans were already taking shape for a full-length album on Graveface.

That album became All Lost.

All Lost marked a noticeable departure from Monster Movie’s earlier work. It is overtly bleak, emotionally heavy, and unafraid to sit in discomfort. At the time, it felt out of step with prevailing indie trends. It was too long, too sad & too inward-looking to make much noise. It lives somewhere between the quiet sprawl of Yo La Tengo and the subdued melancholy of Grandaddy, and it remains one of the most affecting records I’ve ever been involved with.

When All Lost was released in 2006, the general public was primarily buying CDs, and vinyl hadn't had its resurgence just yet. At that point for Graveface, pressing vinyl simply wasn’t financially possible. I was working full-time at a pizza place and struggled to just make CDs and pay for PR. As a result, the album was never given a proper vinyl release.

Twenty years later, this edition finally gives All Lost the format it always deserved. Presented here is the album’s first-ever vinyl release, newly remastered, newly designed, and pressed in-house at Graveface Press.
