MBE May 16: Breathwork, ‘Excess,’ and your chance at a weekend getaway to beautiful downtown Burbank

Breathe deep into a new week as Bay Area psychedelic soul group Monophonics deliver a full recalibration of your spirit through the timeless sounds of their new album “Sage Motel.” And coming at ya with another teaser from their hotly-tipped album “Excess” — due out June 24 — KCRW regulars Automatic drop “Skyscraper,” a single in their signature post-punky style. It’s “about spending your life making money and then spending it [the money] to fill the void created by said job.”
