What happens if you lock two teachers, a drummer and a Bavarian jazz pianist in a damp basement?
What at first glance reads like the beginning of a bad joke describes the founding of the Lucerne indie band Mono Mochi, which must have happened sometime towards the end of the corona pandemic.
Since their founding in autumn 2022, Mono Mochi, consisting of the brothers Roger (guitar, vocals) and Tino Schaffner (bass), Simon Hafner (drums) and Jacob Sur (guitar, vocals), have been working on an honest, original indie sound, beyond one highly polished pop.
In a world where dreams and nightmares are closer to each other than ever before, Mono Mochi lets the old analog collide with the new digital one and makes a statement with their music that new is not necessarily better and that in dark walls next to mold and dust can also grow very good music:
Sweet analog indie sounds that are reminiscent of a melange of greats like Mac DeMarco, Men I Trust and Tame Impala.
Raw, honest songs with edges that scream for the feeling of freedom of a summer road trip, don't take themselves too seriously and make growing up in this impression-saturated world a little easier.
Their first single “Wild Thyme” will be released digitally on March 15, 2024.
The first album “Oh Elsa!” will be released on all platforms and vinyl on May 31st.
