The Bremen (Germany) based duo MONO/XYD wraps their deeply personal and feminist themes in modern dark wave – somewhere between EBM and dark pop – a sound that defies easy categorization.
Alongside their music, the duo’s feminist and political stance is very important to them, which is also reflected in their lyrics. These deal with growing up in the midst of a global crisis, with trauma and depression, but also with hatred in society and criticism of the church and the state.
Founded in the summer of 2024 by Anna (songwriting, lyrics, vocals and production) and Kay (songwriting, guitar and production), MONO/XYD have already played several support slots (including Bragolin, Gwendoline and Babes of Enola Grey) and performed at the major Breminale festival.
This is the band’s first physical release and features 3 tracks, plus several remixes by Rubén Seoane, Broken Nails and Kurs. A full length album is in the making for the second half of the year, also on Swiss Dark Nights. This EP serves as first teaser, and promises a lot!
Released June 2026 on Swiss Dark Nights.
