Monte Mai
A trio of art lovers from Switzerland redefining avant-pop: Monte Mai, aka singer Anaïs Schmidt, singer and guitar wizard Fabio Pinto and groove purveyor Fabio Besomi on bass. The threesome celebrate the marriage of transcultural song material between psychedelic rock, French electro, British trip-hop and assorted ingredients somewhere beyond all that - a creation that’s quite hard to grasp. The debut album "Eye Sea Double" (2023) was also adorned with unconventional production methods resulting in no two tracks sounding the same. Lascivious melodies snuggle up to raw drum tracks, seducing listeners with sparkling effects and the self-assurance of a band that has already found, established and formulated its style. Anyone still not convinced that one of the most exciting band projects from the picturesque Alpine country is stepping onto the European music scene should listen to their latest single "Japanese Girl" and then book a trip to Hamburg. The hype will come - trust us.
