About

Monoculture are a psych/jazz fusion/tropicália band hailing from Chicago. Spending over ten years as a musical team, the band consists of founding members Faayani Aboma Mijana and Nick Leibold.

The group's psych-fueled sound has seen them release two studio albums alongside a string of genre-bending singles. Upon moving to Chicago in 2019, the band incorporated a whole host of guitars, keyboards, synths, string sections, and orchestrations to widen their artistry — all while staying firmly rooted in the material world through lyrics that speak to the current political moment.

The band have supported the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre and Mild High Club whilst drawing a dedicated crowd of their own at headline shows across the USA.
