Monokino - Human Error (Modern Sky Records)
In stores in China right now. Also available as digital download at the iTunes store, Napster and Amazon. Buy the CD at Modern Sky. Listen to 1 min. audio fragments of all songs here.
In the Benelux the CD has been released by My First Sonny Weissmuller (distribution by Konkurrent) on February 24 2009. Buy at Konkurrent, Bol.com, Cosmox etc.
Monokino brings together the artistic visions of 3 musicians from different
worlds: George van Wetering (Holland) song writer, lead vocals, guitar; Yu Jin (formerly of Cobra, first all-women rock band in Beijing, now living in Germany) on synthesizer and keyboard, and electronic drummer Frans van Gastel (Holland), who joined the band in 2007. Monokino has to date released one EP and one album in China where the band is known for its distinct musical identity playing electronic pop music. The sound has been spiced up in a rather kitschy way with a combination of melodious high pitched vocals, static keyboard, rock guitar and electronic/acoustic drum segments. In Holland, Germany and China, Monokino has received both critical and public acclaim for its music.
Reviews:
"This trio puts down a very unique and idiosyncratic sound."
"Every one of their songs is a gem."
"Good thoughtful and sophisticated arrangements. Beautiful filtered screaming!"
"Finally a band that is uninhibited and dares to be adventurous."
"Good mix of then and now. Good recalcitrant contemporary."
"Has certainly got the potential to attract mass appeal outside their home country."
"Very original trio – which is how it should be. Vocals and instruments are in perfect balance and as solid as a house. This is a fun band."
"Alternative electro-indie. Very diverse and very, very good. The band has a bit of everything." SEE MORE: www.monokino.com
Hee! Op vrijdag 11 december releasen zowel The Netherlands als ikzelf onze nieuwe cd's door een feestje te geven in De Unie te Rotterdam (Mauritsweg 34 - 35). Er zullen nog twee acts van ons label (Laterax) een showtje geven: Arno Loriaux en Politics. De avond start om 8 uur en kost 10 euro, maar dat is dan wel inclusief een cd naar keuze (de mijne natuurlijk!). De eerste 10 gasten krijgen ook nog gratis een poster. Hoop je dan te zien! Ik begin trouwens rond een uur of 11. d[*_-]b Koko
