NO MONO
return with
‘FEVER HIGHS’
Touring Australia this August/September
NEW MELBOURNE SHOW ADDED

NO MONO shift the soundscape on wildly bold new single ‘Fever Highs’. Having released their celebrated debut album Islands part 1 this past May and less than a year after the first introduction to No Mono, the team-up is back with a new song that continues to bring to life the ever-expanding sonic breadth of the project. Listen here.

Tom Snowdon says of the track, “We wrote ‘Fever Highs’ when working on music for our debut offerings. It’s the other side of this project, a stark vibe with real gritty energy that is a big part of our live show and contrasts with the more introspective stories and atmospheres on Part 1 that are so intimate and sparse.”
The release of ‘Fever Highs’ follows their debut record Islands part 1 – angelic, irresistibly stunning, beautiful, remarkable, moving and gut-wrenching are all labels used to describe this nationally praised release. Shortly after, the pair welcomed in the album with their Sydney Opera House debut as part of this year’s VIVID LIVE programme, booked off the back of their debut sold out headline show at Sydney’s Lansdowne Hotel. It comes ahead of the duo’s upcoming tour dates crossing the country from Brisbane to Adelaide, Perth to Melbourne, and ending where it all started in the Northern Territory with shows in Darwin and Alice Springs. Dates and details are below.

PRAISE FOR NO MONO
“No Mono are truly Australia’s most bold and translucent new act at the moment.”
AAA Backstage
“…No Mono marks their territory as one of the most exciting new projects to come out of Australian music.”
Acid Stag
“Their debut is a turbulent and emotional record that packs a wallop on almost every track…Without doubt, Snowdon’s voice is a gift. Every note threatens to crack under the sheer weight of his warbling tenor…If they make a second album together, the world is their oyster.”
Jonno Seidler, The Australian
“The slow pace makes Islands (Part 1) a challenging listen, but it becomes oddly comforting over repeat plays.”
Beat
“Tom Snowdon’s voice and Tom Iansek’s sonic landscapes pull you in and shift the air around you so that space seems in constant disturbance but time is in stasis…Islands Part 1 also creates an internal disturbance, an uncomfortable realisation that you aren’t ever at peace here…Everything happens at the edges.”
Bernard Zuel
“Their debut album certainly delivers on the promise that saw the duo sell out their first-ever shows off the back of a handful of singles – it’s set to be one of the year’s buzziest releases.”
ELLE Magazine
“…one of Melbourne’s most exciting new bands…”
GQ Australia
“The minimalism of the pair’s sound is almost deceptively simple…suspense, emotion, and finesse fire like electricity throughout Islands (Part 1), a magnificent statement of artistic prowess from No Mono.”
Happy
“Tom Snowdon and Tom Iansek are meant to be together. And No Mono is a project with legs. It’s like Chewbacca playing chess with James Blake, Bon Iver over a bottle of Glenlivet. Each track gives you a warm shiver as tiny tremors give way to midnight black choruses…Shy Magic.”
Mikey Cahill, Herald Sun (4/5 stars)
“it’s a beautiful, minimal injection of neo-soul to the heart.”
Hilly Dilly
“This is truly something special.”
I OH YOU
“The duo’s first shows had people raving, and early cuts like ‘Butterflies’ and ‘Tidal Fight’ both feature the same naked, emotionally resonant edge that gave their previous collaborations such heart.”
‘15 Albums To Look Out For In 2018’
LNWY.CO
“While very much under the chill/ambient banner, each song on the album sounds a little bit different. If you’re a fan of the genre, and self-reflective lyricism, Islands (Part 1) is definitely worth a listen.”
Music Feeds
“Angelic, irresistibly stunning, beautiful, remarkable, moving and gut-wrenching are all descriptors we’ve used while talking about their past three singles, but I’d like to summarise all of it into one word – special. No Mono are special.”
Pilerats
“Each single released from the album so far has demonstrated a level of sophistication and a nuanced understanding of the project’s identity that can only come from years of refinement and careful cultivation.”
Purple Sneakers
“No Mono are one of those groups that come along and truly stop you in your tracks.”
Stoney Roads
“…like James Blake having a spirit child with Anohni…the minimalism of this album is its strength.”
