MonoNeon Releases “This Dirt Loves Me More Than You,” a Funk-Soaked Meditation on Family and Faith
MonoNeon has gotten 2026 off on the right foot with a brand new album. This Dirt Loves Me More Than You is a self-produced record that is unmistakably MonoNeon, offering a “funk-soaked meditation on identity, family and God.”
Similar to his previous release, Crusty Neon Missionary Baptist Church, the album features his family, including his mother and his grandmother, Grandma Liz. The music features deep grooves that blend MonoNeon’s unique sonic identity, from Southern soul to hymns to experimental, microtonal funk.
“This Dirt Loves Me More Than You album, like all of MonoNeon’s art, is a personal statement quilted in deep funk,” a press release explains, “with MonoNeon always honoring his family and spiritual grounding while staying iconoclastic. MonoNeon creates a record that’s experimental and comforting. It’s a reminder that sometimes the deepest love and understanding your true self comes from the roots you were born on, and MonoNeon constantly builds on those roots.”
Hear MonoNeon and Grandma Liz on “Human,” a sonic exploration of vulnerability in a microtonal universe.
This Dirt Loves Me More Than You is available now on BandCamp, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other digital platforms.
