1995年，发迹自Shoegazer运动的英国里丁乐队Slowdive宣佈解散，为他们划上了句号。人所共知，Slowdive的两位主将Neil Halstead和Rachel Goswell随即联同第二代鼓手Ian McCutcheon另组成Mojave 3，并加盟在独立名厂4AD旗下；而Neil和Rachel在近年更先后推出个人专辑。另一边厢，来到2000年，其结他手Christian Savill则跟他的旧日拍档Sean Hewson「复合」，组成Monster Movie。何以二人是复合呢？原来早在1989年，Christian和Sean本属Eternal这支乐团，更在Bristol传奇性Indie-Pop独立厂牌Sarah旗下出版过一张单曲Breath。及后乐队因为Christian转投Slowdive而告一段落。想不到分道扬鑣近十载，他俩又可以再走在一起组乐队，以Monster Movie延续其合作关係。
Christian Savill and Sean Hewson, a London-based indie rock duo, have been playing together under various names since 1989, including a brief stint as the Eternal, a band that released one single on the Sarah label. Savill, who was also in Slowdive, decided to start playing again with Hewson in 2000 as Monster Movie, most likely naming themselves after the Can album of the same name. Since debuting in 2001 with a five-track EP on Clairecords, they've released a handful of EPs and albums, including Last Night Something Happened (2001), a split EP with Dreamend (2002), Transistor (2004), To the Moon (2004), and All Lost (2006). Their recordings have drifted between neo-shoegaze, straight-up indie pop, and synth-driven material inspired by the Factory label's dance-oriented sect (Section 25, New Order).
