Recess Monkey's New Video 'Tambourine Submarine' Premieres Today

Poised to launch a delicious bouillabaisse of aquatic adventures, the renowned kindie trio of teacher-rockers known as Recess Monkey takes to the sea with their ninth CD, Deep Sea Diver.

With great excitement, Recess Monkey is heralding Deep Sea Diver's June 18 release via a series of ebulliently creative music videos. Recess Monkey's "Tambourine Submarine" video debuts today on RedTri.com.

Deep Sea Diver is Recess Monkey's "blue album," an ocean-themed recording set in a submarine that plumbs the musical depths of the sea before becoming shipwrecked on the beach of a distant lost island. Conceived as "the Recess Monkey-est Recess Monkey album ever," Deep Sea Diver is filled with a boatload of the band's over-the-top, super zany, high-energy songs that deliver lots of synth, funk, and everything in between.

Recess Monkey presents insanely catchy, up-tempo songs for the whole family. No play on words is too much of a stretch, and no rhyme schemes are out of bounds for the group's genre-bending set of clever ditties that NPR described as "inventive, brilliant, multilayered." Lauded by People, Time, and NPR for their pitch-perfect understanding of what gets kids excited, Recess Monkey is known for prolific album output, high-energy live shows, and laugh-out-loud funny lyrics that capture the essence of being young.

Sirius/XM's Kids Place Live program director Mindy Thomas says, "These guys are able to tap into elementary school so well it's like they never left. In this never-ending nationwide talent show of kid and family music, they are most definitely at the top." Enthuses Stefan Shepherd of Zooglobble.com, "Recess Monkey keeps turning out album after album with pop nuggets, as if we'd just discovered that the Beatles had recorded a ton of kids' music 40+ years ago."
