mono in vcf簡介：BiographyThe Tacoma, WA-based band Mono In VCF conjure lullabies for the dreamtime hours between midnight and sunrise. Weaving lush, wintry keyboards with silky acoustic guitars, darkly hypnotic bass lines, and ominous drums, Mono In VCF compose music for soundtracks of the imagination.Featuring the deep, plaintive crooning of vocalist Kim Miller, Mono In VCF released their eponymous full-length debut in 2007. Co-produced by Englishman Martin Feveyear (R.E.M., the Screaming Trees), the critically-acclaimed album combines the droning psychedelia of the Velvet Underground and Nico with Phil Spector’s booming “Wall Of Sound” and the cinematic, shadowy electronics of Portishead. The single “Escape City Scrapers” left listeners of Seattle’s KEXP and Santa Monica’s KCRW spellbound by its sweeping orchestral textures. Songs such as “Masha” reflects the narcotic balladry of Mazzy Star while “There’s No Blood in Bone,” written by legendary Canadian singer/songwriter Terry Jacks (“Seasons in the Sun”), outshines the Gothic pulse of Siouxsie & the Banshees in their post-punk prime. Unifying the group’s diverse menu of film-noir atmospherics, druggy rhythms, and crestfallen melodies is the 21st century creative vision of founding members guitarist/keyboardist Hunter Lea and bassist Jordan Luckman. Influenced by film, composer scores, cinematography and Rod Serling as much as old Delfonics and Lee Hazlewood vinyl, Mono In VCF creates a sound and mystique that pays homage while turning classic psychedelic sound into something distinctly different for the modern audience.Mono In VCF was formed in May 2004 by Lea and Luckman, both high school students who found mutual affection towards the Beatles. With original vocalist Charles Perales, Mono In VCF released The Voltage Control EP in 2005. The Smiths-esque summertime jangle and teen-angst sentiments of “In Los Angeles” and the pulsating New Wave swoon of “Ultra Love” became immediate favorites on KEXP. However, Lea and Luckman continued to delve into the transcendent experimentalism of late ‘60s psychedelic rock, paving the way for the group’s eventual transformation. 更多>>
