RETURN TO MONO
is an electronic rock band from San Francisco
which features the vocals of Tanya Kelleher,
the guitar and bass of J.G. Paulos and the
electronics, keys and beat-programming of Andy Sibylrud.This collaboration began as Andy’s studio brainchild
which merges progressive electronic beats and sound
design with the organic purity and spirit of songwriting.
This vision became RETURN TO MONO: a synthesis of waves and velocities by way of
breakbeat, electro-clash, drum and bass, rock, trip hop, glitch-ambient,
and beyond. Andy’s electronically encoded
experiments reveal a tactful and fluid alchemy.Tanya Kelleher, formerly of "Eeor" (feat. Sigtryggur Baldursson/Sugarcubes), relocated to San Francisco and joined RETURN TO MONO.
Tanya's versatile performance and poetics never fail to captivate. Whether she’s delivering
a low sultry evocative drawl or rising to a battle cry
of transcendence, Tanya Kelleher emotes playful
and soulful imagery which spirals between emotional trajectories
of the chaotic and divine.Traversing vast tonalities, ranging from ethereal ambient soundscapes to heavy post-punk dissonance, J.G. Paulos joined RETURN TO MONO in 2005. His multi-instrumentalism cross-bonds electric and acoustic guitar, bass, and analog synth,
revealing a vast tonal axis which unites and divides these polarities.
Return To Mono is currently touring the bay area and beyond in support of their brand new EP "Involution" available now.
"..Return to Mono inundate eardrums with waves of atmospheric electro-pop."
