Look How The Sky Turns Blue by THE MONDAYS: Album Review

South Australian indie-pop/alt-rock collective THE MONDAYS step into their boldest era with Look How The Sky Turns Blue, a luminous, emotionally intelligent record released November 28, 2025. Spearheaded by songwriter-producer Peter Spiniello, who single-handedly shapes the band’s songwriting, sound design, mixing, and even live visuals, this album feels like the moment the DIY dream grows its wings. A cult following built on triple j/ Unearthed support, sold-out Adelaide shows, and big-stage festival slots now has the expansive soundtrack it deserves.

Look How The Sky Turns Blue is an alt-pop album with no interest in playing safe, with sleek production, textured guitars, and layered vocals that blur effortlessly into shimmering beats. Thematically, it lives in the push-and-pull between closeness and distance, the uncomfortable but necessary work of being a better version of yourself with someone else. These songs trace that shift from self-sabotage to self-awareness, from circling doubts to stepping into the light.

Everything begins in a breath of calm. “[Pm]” opens as a 30-second ambient transition, with soft chords floating like twilight air, a micro-prayer before the plunge. Then the album detonates.

“Thank You/I’m Sorry” hits with thumping drums and fuzzy, churning guitars, the atmosphere shimmering like a neon haze. Spiniello’s deep, thick vocal comes with the epiphany of the coexistence of vulnerability and accountability. It’s loud, urgent, and cathartic, as it turns overthinking into motion.

By the time the title track “Look How The Sky Turns Blue” arrives, the record has earned its hope. Strummed guitars lift gently, the vocal relaxes into something softer, steadier, as a surrender without defeat. As the drums rise in from the bridge, the refrain “look how the sky turns blue” lands like a sunrise after an endless night.

THE MONDAYS have always sparked potential. Here, they ignite it. Look How The Sky Turns Blue is the turning point, as the moment darkness cracks open and lets the sky flood back in.
