Abnocto is the second album from Monarchy. The album title is a latin word meaning to spend the night out hence the owl on the cover. The owl motif was found on the outside of a theatre building in South London, the theatre happens to be a favorite of Andrew Armstrong (from the band) being an avid theatre goer. The cover image which I photographed was assisted by Andrew Armstrong who held the ladder on the day.
