Recognized for her haunting, emotive, and captivating voice, dreamy aesthetic, and folk influences blended with pop sensibility, Cat Falcão has been a respected figure in Portugal’s alternative music scene since first emerging in 2014 alongside her sister, Margarida Falcão, as part of Golden Slumbers. In 2018, Cat made her solo debut with the album “One”, under the artistic name Monday.
In 2020, she returned with a different sound on “Room for All,” a collection of colorful, catchy, and vibrant songs. This EP, later reissued in Japan by Inpartmaint Inc., received critical acclaim and was praised as one of the best records of the year by prominent media outlets.
In May 2024, she released her second album, “Underwater, feels like eternity” — a dreamy collection of tracks with delicate arrangements that reflect a period of deep introspection and seclusion in the artist’s life. Self-produced, this record tells a story of self-discovery and growth, an acceptance of the nostalgia that comes with leaving her twenties behind and saying goodbye to past relationships.
Earlier this year, the artist launched the project “Live Underwater,” featuring intimate live renditions of the tracks “Wasteland,” “When I Love Another Man,” and “One Foot in Line.” This initiative, which unveils a new layer of sensitivity in her music, will soon unfold with more to come.
«Monday was born from my desire to understand myself through music and to feel that I could create my own space for that discovery. It’s a project in constant change and evolution, also reflecting my experiences and time in this life. It moves between a very intimate, sometimes “downer” space and, at the same time, a place of lightness — and it happily lives in this dichotomy,» explains Cat Falcão.
