Chester's kitchen or simply Johan Bodin as my folks named me as a new born. The son of an engineer and the son of a librarian. Raised and broght up in the depth of deep dark Dalarna in Swed'n. Welder, musician, i guess. I'm part of Pocket Metropolis(formerly known as Techno Sunrise) and Fellow Diners and this would be music i make on my own.
2003 i released an album not many of you have heard i reckon, it was titled Chester Copperpot and it came out on the swedish label Payperbag Records. That was an hour worth of music with me trying to figger out what i was doing, today five years later i still don't know. ha. hope ya'll dig.keep kraaut. johan

"Somewhere On The Line is the best debut album in the widened Trip-Hop-Genre since Goldfrapps legendary Felt Mountain" (Zillo Magazine 03/09)
We are very proud to announce, that Monocular s "Water Shape EP" is available at your favorite Online-Store now.
Containing the single "Water Shape" from the forthcoming album "Somewhere On The Line" (April 03, 2009 VierSieben Records/Alive) and three non-album tracks ("Consequence", "To Admire The Life", "Ravenclaw"), it is definitely a must have for all fans of filigree and athmospheric electrosounds.
Where bands like Lamb or Frou Frou left a gap in the late 90s and early 21st century, Monocular redefined the sound and set new standards in developing their complex music by connecting charismatic vocals with entrancing soundscapes.
