Mono Means One: Enormous Forces
John Ferrara’s creative output has been growing stronger and stronger. In addition to Consider the Source, he’s released some solo albums and done some duo work. His latest project is a trio called Mono Means One, and they’re gearing up for their debut album and a tour.
Listless Playthings of Enormous Forces will be out on May 10th. The trio recorded holed up in a yurt near Raleigh, North Carolina, and they transformed it into a recording studio for two days.
“Mono Means One is an instrumental progressive/psychedelic trio flooring audiences up and down the east coast thanks to incredible musicianship, mixed with moody tones and poignant melodies,” a press release explains. “Their debut album will consist of 8 tracks, and sounds somewhere between Radiohead, The Mars Volta and Medeski Martin and Wood. Their well-balanced mix of improvisation and composition mixed with a keen sense of juxtaposition serves to bring listeners to the brink of insanity and then back home to a serene homeostasis several times over.”
We’re happy to help premiere the studio video for “Enormous Forces” today. As you can expect from Ferrara, the creative composition is propelled by the bassist’s virtuosic tapping skills. After you watch the video, check the tour dates below for a show near you.
