The Bremen based duo MONO/XYD wraps their deeply personal and feminist themes in modern dark wave — somewhere between Dark Electronic, Dark Wave and EBM — a sound that defies easy categorisation.
Alongside their music, the duo’s feminist and political stance is very important to them, which is also reflected in their lyrics. These deal with growing up in the midst of a global crisis, with trauma and depression, but also with hatred in society and criticism of the church and the state.
Founded in the summer of 2024 by Anna (songwriting, lyrics, vocals and production) and Kay (songwriting, guitar and production), MONO/XYD have already played several support slots (including for Bragolin, Gwendoline and EMMON) and performed at the major Breminale festival.Band picture was taken by Lila (Kira Leonie Glauber)https://www.kiraleonieglauber.de
