Psychadelia band Mono Stereo are preparing for the launch of their debut album, to be released later this summer. As a first taste of the album they are releasing the two-track single “Girl, I Love Yo”, where you can listen to the title track here below. One of their best songs so far I think.
It’s been quiet here on Meadowmusic this week, since I’ve been away on a trip a few days. I hope I can restore your interest by presenting Mono Stereo’s new single “Me and My Machine”, to be released on Monday. But you can of course listen to it here already today, and download it.
I wrote about Mono Stereo the first time almost exactly a year ago, and since then a lot of things have happened around the band; tours, recordings and other events. They seem to have a continuous positive flow around them, which feels very nice to see.
I think that the single more clearly than before points out a direction towards classic psychadelia, refined in their own way. Really great song this.
Tonight they start a two-week intense tour in England, with a first gig at Ducie Bridge in Manchester.
The Malmö band Mono Stereo is today releasing their debut EP “Space Out” (360 Degrees Music). They have found their own niche with a sound that first of all makes me think of the sixties’ psychadelia, but with an intensity and massive sound that reminds me somewhat of 80’s/90’s bands, like for example My Bloody Valentine and Jesus & Mary Chain.
Even though it’s so intense, I find good dynamics and breathing space in the music, and it’s easy to just ride along in this nice mix. The vocals are not the obvious protagonists here, they’re more like a part of the sound together with the other instruments. Well, you can listen for yourself here below, in the video for “Orange Is Green” and the track”The Day Before Science Fiction”.
That their foundation lies in live music doesn’t come as a surprise, and their release is of course followed by a number of gigs, for starters with a couple of shows in London, among them one gig at Smash n Grab at Proud Galleries.
Also, you can download four live tracks with the band if you sign up for the band’s news letter.
