Who the hell are Monoganon?! Well, they are the songs and sounds of Fence Home Game / Hallowe’en favourite, Mr John B McKenna – ably assisted by a bunch of his pals.
Debut LP, Songs To Swim To, is a collection of seven dreamy fuzz-folk laments. John B’s lyrics dive in and out of a sea of consciousness (like a sublime mixture of Syd Barrett, Elliott Smith and Jeff Mangum), with shifting acoustic guitar patterns keeping everything afloat. A plaintively progressive and thoroughly melodic album – this is a true gem. courtesy of Fence
That’s right they mentioned Jeff Mangum so absolutely no pressure at all !
