Monoculture unleashes emphatic new comeback single ‘I’ll Do You One Better’

Back with their first release since 2018’s ‘Blueprint for Dysfunction’, Monoculture are back with their colourful new single ‘I’ll Do You One Better’. Adding a jazz-tinged backbone to their psychedelic palette, the group make bold new steps as they enter an exciting new era.

The track effortlessly oozes out of the soundwaves with intricate drum rolls and euphoric jazz chops. Creating an intrinsic new groove, the new single mocks the ‘verse-chorus’ structure of modern pop music, forging an invigorating absurdity that sets the outfit out from their pop-churning peers.

Commenting on the new single, Faayani, the band’s co-founder, explains, “‘I'll Do You One Better’ is a facetious song poking fun at the traditional pop song structure that people have wielded against the band to deny us opportunities. So we imitated that structure and do it one better with jazz chord progressions and broad instrumentation -- all over shifting time signatures. Lyrically, the song was written as I was becoming more conscious as both a worker and as a Black person and in that time was finding how the only way we could solve our issues was to fight for them.”
