Monzanto Sound - The Fool (Single)

Monzanto Sound release The Fool, the second single from their upcoming EP Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow due in Autumn 2022.

Off the back of their incredible debut Time Lapse EP in 2021 and keyboardist Mali-I’s phenomenal debut LP ‘In Session’, Monzanto Sound return with new vocalist Mimi Koku to deliver an exceptional new 4 track EP.

After the psychedelic neo-soul groove of Nuff Blues comes the deep dub jam The Fool.

The Fool is a rhythmic yet defiant dub jam with a steady groove, killer bass line and a smooth roots vocal. Lyrically irreverent, it pulls together themes of disillusionment, rebellion and reflections on never-ending cycles of state violence. The dub version was featured on Mali-I’s debut album In Session, and now the full vocal track is released.

The single will be available digitally only from Bandcamp and on all good streaming platforms. The Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow EP will be available on vinyl when it’s released later this year.

Monzanto Sound is a band from London fusing together different styles from the African Diaspora and combining them with a hypnotic, psychedelic edge. They are a high energy, rhythmic group with an ear for space and simplicity capable of getting any crowd moving. Their sonic aesthetic is something that is considered carefully as they incorporate synths and effects in a way that has more inspiration from 90s dance and electronic music. Mimi Koku, the lead singer, has a soulful, african sound and writes intentional, captivating lyrics, which have an emotional honesty that speak on multiple levels. People have described them as a blend between Can, Fela Kuti and Sade with dubby off kilter funk grooves.
