Monte Mai

Mesmerizing and dancy Art Pop. Monte Mai are Fabio Besomi, Fabio Pinto and Anaïs Schmidt.
Deconstructed rhythms, smoky bass riffs, lanky psychedelic nursery rhyme-like vocal lines, analog synths and angelic voices. A retro-manic journey into post-genre lateral Pop and played electronica, creating a twisted musical language all their own. Their debut album Eye Sea Double (2023) received critical acclaim and brought about comparisons to <a href="spotify:artist:54QMjE4toDfiCryzYWCpXX" data-name="Metronomy">Metronomy</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7eQZTqEMozBcuSubfu52i4" data-name="The Knife">The Knife</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3kZdsaTYgaaolNxpnJ4iDe" data-name="Son Lux">Son Lux</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4kwxTgCKMipBKhSnEstNKj" data-name="Animal Collective">Animal Collective</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4idG41ELGGRKuiHLc3VLc5" data-name="Vanishing Twin">Vanishing Twin</a>.
