Emma Bunton did a cover of Life In Mono by late 90s band Formica Blues, and I loved that album back in the day, so I decided to hunt for it and play it again. Could be nostalgia (man, it's over 10 years old now) but it's a really good album, from back when Portishead was the hottest thing going. It's a little maudlin, and I was feeling exhausted, so this sketch emerged as a reaction to it.

that band was actually "mono" - "formica blues" was the name of the album. but YEH such a good song.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right - it was Mono, hence the title "Life In Mono." Such a good album. I pulled it out and it was such a great thing to listen to again.
