Sweden’s Mono Stereo return with new single ‘Me And My Machine’ on 8th November on Minty Highway. The lead track will be backed by a brand new, acoustically led track – ‘You Gotta Take Me Home’.
‘Me And My Machine’ has been produced by Kramer, the man behind the legendary Galaxie 500 canon and the discovery of Low, and is the first glimpse into the Malmö band’s debut album – due for release spring 2011. His stamp on the bands addictively melodic take on psychedelia works perfectly, with the single cementing Mono Stereo as one of the finest purveyors of the revivalist sound in Europe today. The B-side, recorded by the band themselves, finds the band in a more introspective mood, and brings a new rawness and diversity to their sound.
Having received welcome support from Steve Lamacq and Tom Ravenscroft on BBC 6music for previous single ‘On and On’, as well as comparisons to the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre, Black Angels and BRMC from a variety of online music critics, the timing seems ideal for Mono Stereo’s brand of psychedelic rock to be brought to a wider social consciousness.
Mono Stereo will support the single release with their debut UK tour throughout early and mid-November.
