Return To Mono
alternative / electro / rock


Return To Mono is the electro band from San Francisco which features the vocals of Tanya Kelleher, the guitar and bass of J.G. Paulos and the electronics, keys and beat-programming of Andy Sibylrud.

This collaboration began as Andy’s studio brainchild which merges progressive electronic beats and sound design with the organic purity and spirit of songwriting. This vision became Return To Mono: a synthesis of waves and velocities by way of breakbeat, electro-clash, drum and bass, rock, trip hop, glitch-ambient, and beyond. Andy’s electronically encoded experiments reveal a tactful and fluid alchemy.

Tanya Kelleher, formerly of "Eeor" (feat. Sigtryggur Baldursson/Sugarcubes), relocated to San Francisco and joined Return To Mono. Tanya's versatile performance and poetics never fail to captivate. Whether she’s delivering a low sultry evocative drawl or rising to a battle cry of transcendence, Tanya Kelleher emotes playful and soulful imagery which spirals between emotional trajectories of the chaotic and divine.

Traversing vast tonalities, ranging from ethereal ambient soundscapes to heavy post-punk dissonance, J.G. Paulos joined Return To Mono in 2005. His multi-instrumentalism cross-bonds electric and acoustic guitar, bass, and analog synth, revealing a vast tonal axis which unites and divides these polarities.
