Life in Mono play a dark, immersive mix of grunge, alt-rock and post-metal at The Victoria, with support from Delay Dream and Essential Formulas.
Life in Mono play The Victoria on Tuesday 10 November, with support from Delay Dream and Essential Formulas. It's a mid-week one, and the night starts at 7:30pm.
Life in Mono describe their sound as dark and immersive, a blend of grunge, alt-rock and post-metal that they say is bristling with atmosphere. The influences they name run from the heavy, distorted riffs of Brutus and the moody, atmospheric weight of Deftones to the trip-hop textures of Portishead and the raw, idiosyncratic songwriting of PJ Harvey. It's a wide net to cast, but it gives you a fair idea of where they're coming from: a place where heavy rock meets something a bit more cinematic and textural.
They're not the only ones on the bill. Delay Dream, described as grunge darlings, bring their own take on the heavier end of the spectrum, while Essential Formulas are billed as wonderfully progressive, which suggests they'll be pushing into a different kind of territory altogether. Between the three, the night covers a good stretch of the heavier, more atmospheric side of rock, from the grit of grunge to the expansive leanings of post-metal.
