Colemine Records is proud to present a special 10 year anniversary pressing of 'Sound of Sinning,' Monophonic's breakthrough studio LP. Released in April of 2015, Monophonic's proudly carry the torch of the rich musical history and culture of San Francisco through the generations into today’s musical landscape. Holding on to tradition, but by no means purists of any kind, they play their own brand of music known as “Psychedelic Soul.”The group's prior album 'In Your Brain,' saw the band pulling influences from such acts as early Funkadelic, Sly and The Family Stone and the The Temptation's Norman Whitfield produced records. 'Sound of Sinning' marked the beginning of the band's growth in all areas. Touching on Northern soul, doo-wop, rock and roll, Psych pop, and cinematic music, Monophonics show off their diversity while remaining true to their roots. Overall it's heartfelt music and old school vibes, without losing sight of the present. This is is music steeped in that timeless feeling when people could write and produce songs that you could listen to over and over again. 'Sound of Sinning' was produced by Kelly Finnigan & Ian McDonald and recorded on an old Tascam eight-track 1/4” tape machine at Transistor Sound Studios in San Rafael, CA.Since 'Sound of Sinning,' the group has gone on to release the critically acclaimed 'It's Only Us' (2020) and concept-record 'Sage Motel' (2023), which sold over 10k physical units. The band continues to tour, having recently completed a string of shows with the legendary Lee Fields and having an international tour ahead of them for 2025.
