Monoton is a quartet from Copenhagen, Denmark and we’ve been around since ’96. Monoton is heavy urban rock music with a dash of repetitive distilled blues, moody country and dark evocative minimalism. The unique instrumentation underlines the searching, wistful atmosphere that saturates the songs of Monoton. The tension between different traditions -the accordion, harp and lap steel on the one hand and the grandiose guitar escapades and drum tracks on the other- creates a brand of the blues situated on the threshold between the wide, well-lit interchanges of the big city and the small, dark country road. Monoton decided to split up in 2007.
