![]() ![]() With their experience as baggage, the members wholeheartedly set course toward their common musical goal: progressive transcendence. Instrumental music was the aim from the outset. Monomyth was founded in 2011 in The Hague. All this is steeped in the production by Pieter Kloos, who manages to bring even more depth to the Monomyth sound. Besides ambient, prog, kraut and space rock, this time soul, dance and even unadulterated hard rock can be heard. The, by now, very recognisable Monomyth style freely permeates the five new tracks, but the band also experiments with new elements. Again the technical possibilities are utilised to the fullest, both in the music and in the story underpinning the record. The main theme of Exo is the discovery and mapping of a completely new territory, with a few interesting surprises for the attentive listener. The concept, as commenced on S/T and Further, gets an exciting continuation. ![]() With the new and third album Exo (Suburban, March 2016) Monomyth completes its own epic trilogy and sets foot ashore again. Monomyth is a travel agency, a vehicle and a destination all in one. Monomyth has now fused to a coherent whole and the sound moves from space rock to krautrock, from psychedelia to IDM, from major to minor and everything in between. On the second album Further (Suburban, September 2014) the main theme is movement: the break through to the great unknown. The debut was recorded, produced and mixed by the band and because of this captures the natural sound of everyone’s individual musical contribution. The debut Monomyth (Burning World/Suburban, September 2013) is the call to adventure, a first exploration of the possibilities. Monomyth’s music is a complete experience, a collective statement by five like-minded identities. In the ranks, we find five people from different creative and musical backgrounds. ![]() Monomyth transports you to another world, a place that feels both new and familiar. It is the sound of five people searching for their musical boundaries and then moving beyond them. Monomyth stands for “thrilling instrumental soundscapes”, a rollercoaster ride in which the listener can lose themselves. Monomyth, the hero’s journey An epic journey with an unknown conclusion. ![]()
