Mona et Toi is the creative project of musicians Alison Manicourt and Shervin Hejazi. Based in Barcelona, these two artists craft a distinctive style of ‘noir rock’, which you can experience on their new single, ‘Nothing Rhymes With Myself’.
The production builds an atmospheric soundscape that is mysterious yet hypnotic, while the lyrics look at themes of insecurity and the fear of failing. The song is finessed, and almost cinematic in tone, but still has a sense of emotional rawness that is refreshingly relatable.
The track is lifted from the duo’s forthcoming album, ‘Radical Romance of Mind’, which is out in August.
