I’m a huge fan of Monomyth’s self-titled tape, and here’s another of the EP’s standouts. “Don’t Stare” is a slow-builder that begins with unaccompanied guitar strumming; the vocals don’t enter until the 34-second mark, and this low-key atmosphere persists until around two minutes in, when the song suddenly explodes into its cinematic earworm of a refrain. This chorus returns a couple more times, making this a very well-spent six minutes.
