About
Mono in VCF
Formed in May 2004, MONO IN VCF began as a venture by guitarist Hunter Lea and bassist Jordan Luckman, who met in a high school journalism class and bonded over a mutual Beatles obsession. Both the name and sound is a clash of Phil Spector's mono, "Wall of Sound" production and Dr. Robert Moog's synthesizer tones (VCF mode, Voltage-Controlled Filter).Recorded throughout 2007 at both the MONO IN VCF home studio in Tacoma and Jupiter Studios Seattle, MONO IN VCF was produced by British-born Seattlite Martin Feveyear (R.E.M., Screaming Trees, QOTSA) and Lea. Two songs feature Canadian pop legend Terry Jacks ("Seasons in the Sun", The Poppy Family) who lends his voice and a song, the tripped-out gem "There's No Blood in Bone." Lea and Luckman rang Jacks after looking him up in the Canadian White Pages. During sessions, they traveled the coast to a secluded area of British Columbia to visit and work with Jacks.
Influenced by film, composer scores, cinematography and Rod Serling as much as old Delfonics and Lee Hazlewood vinyl, the band creates a sound and mystique that pays homage while turning classic psychedelic sound into something distinctly different for the modern audience. These are pop scores made for the dark.
