Life in Mono

A lush, cinematic tribute to 1960s French pop and lounge. Soft, breathy vocals float over sweeping orchestral strings, vintage brass, and gentle bossa nova rhythms.

Moments Worth Listening For

The title track's opening wash of cinematic strings and breathy, close-mic vocals that instantly transport the listener to a 1960s French film set.

The jaunty, brass-led swagger of 'Take Me to Another Town' which injects a playful, uptempo energy into the record's loungey atmosphere.

The delicate, acoustic-driven intimacy of 'All I Need to Know' where the lush vocal harmonies swell beautifully during the chorus.
