Robbie & Mona
“Robbie & Mona have crafted a remarkable, multi-edged debut that twists, turns and simply delights with the sheer breadth of its creative vision”
Robbie & Mona is couple-duet, William Carkeet and Eleanor Gray, who have found a surreal creative outlet making scrap-book glitch pop with each other. They craft erratic and psychedelic dream-pop, splicing through the indistinct haze that often plagues the genre.
Their debut album ‘EW’ experiments fearlessly with sonic textures and song structures, and yet the songs can still carry the emotional weight of a Magic Radio ballad. Recorded in the cellar underneath Bristol’s most legendary independent venue, The Louisiana, with additional recordings made in their bedroom, their music expertly toes the line between deep emotional resonance and alienating disarray.
‘EW’ sees them tear around their self-made studio like kids in a candy shop, taking full advantage of their freedom from a traditional band structure. More influenced by film than music, pictures such as Daisies by Vera Chytilova, Blue Velvet by David Lynch and La Dolce Vita by Federico Fellini all play an influencing role on their music.
