Mono Presents: DUFFIN + sevendeaths + MHO

DUFFIN

Duffin is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer based in the North of England. Pitchfork writes that ‘Duffin isn’t just some decorative noisemaker, but a crucial corrupting influence - he wields his sax like a flamethrower, blasting open portals into unrestrained psych-jazz chaos… like a lion tamer luring his beast into a cage.’ The Wire describes him as “a slippery antagonist, fidgety and slyly taking on the characteristics of multiple instruments.’

A keen collaborator and in-demand experimental musician, he records and tours internationally with Virginia Wing, James Holden and XAM Duo, and performs on keyboards and woodwinds with Hayden Thorpe, Yard Act and Drahla.

SEVENSEATHS

Sevendeaths is the pseudonym of Edinburgh-based electronic musician Steven Shade who has released several critically acclaimed records on LuckyMe, garnering the attention of the US music press, receiving Pitchfork’s Best New Music & Rising artist feature and Spin Magazine’s electronic tracks of the week and who was previously a member of Scottish guitar bands American Men, Eunoia and G-Plan.
