[3] The second single, a cover version of The Human League's "Mirror Man," which was released in May 2012, was a taster from their debut album The North[4] (produced by Wolf), that followed in June 2012.

These tunes were released in March 2014 by the German label CopaseDisques, in the form of 2x7" vinyl - three MONC originals and a soulful cover of The Who's 1970 hit "The Seeker."

Throughout 2014-2016 the band was working on their second full album, while frequently visiting Europe for tours and festivals in Italy, Germany, The Czech Republic, France and Russia.

The album's twelve tracks infuse northern soul, post-punk and rock and roll into heady visions of Tel Aviv's buildings, streets bedrooms, clubs and bars, suggesting a view of a culturally diverse city.

The album created a strong buzz around the septet, and was followed by a live session on BBC6's Craig Charles show, which resulted in the band being invited to perform alongside Madness in the 2016 "House of Fun" weekender.
