Description
Return to MonoSan Francisco trio Return to Mono makes songs full of crunch, atmosphere, and, of course, synth. Their catchy guitar riffs, strong vocals, and solid synths form a fully fledged and fully phonic electro rock sound. On their new album Framebreaker (Audio Villain) crunched beats are supported with warps and thick slabs of sizzling Moog bass, along with the occasional shredding guitar riff. Singer Tanya Kelleher adds sultry, dark, and passionate vocals to a canvas of splashing and reflective post rock disco-ball color. with her vocal style sitting somewhere between Garbage's Shirley Manson and the Noisettes' Shingai Shoniwa.
"Forget everything you think you know about electro pop music." --PULSE MAGAZINE
Strip Mall Architecture
As members of San Francisco’s celebrated Halou, Ryan and Rebecca Coseboom built up a remarkable body of material and worked with a wide range of iconoclastic artists including DJ Shadow (on his infamous Radiohead remix), Low, Cocteau Twins guitarist Robin Guthrie, and the Velvet Underground’s John Cale. When Halou came to an end after a US tour with indie legend Bob Mould, they regrouped quickly and launched their new project, Stripmall Architecture.
In 2009, Stripmall Architecture released We Were Flying Kites, a bold debut that was “an impressive step forward” (John Richards, KEXP) and quickly gained support from indie radio including being touted by KCRW and KEXP as their song of the day.
In 2010, Stripmall Architecture released their next album, Feathersongs for Factory Girls, entirely funded by their dedicated fanbase across the US and the globe. Radium Girls is the first taste of the new album and precedes Rebecca’s upcoming guest vocal spot with James Lavelle’s UNKLE project.
