UK cinematic post-rock/shoegaze act Life In Mono releases new single and music video »Basic Reality«

Bristol, UK based cinematic post-rock/shoegaze act Life In Mono has released new single and music video »Basic Reality«.

Directed and filmed by Michael Brumby.

»Basic Reality« is available now on Spotify and other streaming platforms!

Life In Mono are a Bristol-based band whose dark, immersive sound blends metal, post-rock, and atmospheric textures, drawing influences from Brutus, Portishead, Deftones and PJ Harvey.

Their new EP due early 2025, »If I Could Sleep«, is a haunting exploration of emotional turmoil soundtracked by powerful yet ethereal vocals and music that ranges from crushingly heavy to delicately beautiful.

“Emerging from Bristol’s underground scene, Life In Mono craft a dark, immersive sound that blends brooding atmospheres with raw, grunge-infused energy. Together, they create a haunting mix of PJ Harvey’s intensity, early Placebo’s edge, and Portishead’s moody textures, with a heavier, darker undertone. The result? An immersive soundtrack for a brooding, scandi-noir thriller.”
