About the artist

Monocled Man

Monocled Man may sound like the name of a whimsical character from a Dickens novel, but in reality, it is the moniker of one of the most enigmatic and avant-garde musicians to come out of the UK jazz scene in recent years. Comprising a trio of multi-instrumentalists – all of whom inexplicably sport monocles on stage – Monocled Man has been turning heads and raising eyebrows with their genre-defying blend of jazz, electronica, and post-rock. Their sound is at once cerebral and soul-stirring, with complex, intertwining melodies weaving their way through intricate rhythms and other-worldly soundscapes. Despite their esoteric sound, Monocled Man has managed to attract a dedicated following of music aficionados who are drawn to the band's unique brand of sonic alchemy. Their live performances are a sight to behold, with the members donning top hats and waistcoats as they effortlessly switch between a dizzying array of instruments – from saxophones and keyboards to laptops and drum machines. With a discography that includes critically acclaimed albums such as "The Only One With a Monocle" and "Hats Off to Monocled Man", it's clear that this band is not content to rest on their laurels. With each release, they push the boundaries of what is considered jazz, challenging listeners to expand their musical horizons and embrace the unknown. So, if you're looking for an auditory adventure like no other, look no further than Monocled Man. Who knows, you may just find yourself dusting off that old monocle sitting at the back of your drawer.
