Keymono to perform at Rich Mix
On Thursday, 30 June, 2016, 9.45 p.m. the London-based Lithuanian music band Keymono will perform at Rich Mix (35-47 Bethnal Green Road, E1 6LA) as a part of the Encore! Euro 2016 festival. The festival, celebrating the European football championship, takes places throughout June. In this free concert, Keymono introduce their new album Time Capsule.
Hailing from Lithuania, Keymono is a four-piece soul/electronica outfit consisting of Alvydas Mačiulskas (drum machines , keyboards, sax, flute), Daiva Starinskaitė (vocals, percussion, lyrics), Aurimas Rimeikis (trumpet, keys, percussion) and Marijus Aleksa (drums). Their music is a blend of soul, jazz, and electronica that represents a seamless array of unlikely genres. By incorporating electronic instruments with the classic sound of real instruments, Keymono's music creates a sonic atmosphere that rests on the verge of ethereal. Recognised internationally for their creativity, Keymono has accumulated a number of awards throughout the years including "Best Song of the Year" from the Online Music Awards for their track titled "Everything" as well as winning "Best Album of the Year" at the T.E.T.E Alternative Music Awards.
In 2013, the band signed with EMC/Sony and released an album comprised of tracks from their two previous albums, Waiting (2010) and Synthezatorium (2011). Lauded for its supreme vocal range and shifting melodies, Keymono's music continues to be a driving force in electronic music. Most of their 2016 album Time Capsule was recorded in a studio residing within the deep forests of Lithuania. In order to capture the true ambiance of their music, some of it was recorded in the forest itself. Living up to its name, Time Capsule represents a point in space and time where everything stops, creating a void in which the listener can truly appreciate care put into creating the album.
