BIO
Monograms is the alias of Brooklyn, NYC's Ian Jacobs. Pointillism lyrics, lucid beats and angular melodies create a driving backdrop for what has been coined as "Nuke-Wave".  Since the project’s humble bedroom recording origins, Monograms has evolved into a  full band endeavor live, supporting international acts such as Cloud Nothings, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Ezra Furman, Sunflower Bean, Man or Astro-Man?, A Place To Bury Strangers, GØGGS (Ty Segall/Ex-Cult), Girl Band, New Candys, Caveman, DMA's, Juan Waters, Gang of Youths, Buscabulla and others. That trajectory coupled with U.S. tours and an array of streams and words from valued outlets such as Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Earmilk, Under the Radar, the 405, Alt Citizen, Post-Punk, Alt Citizen, Audiofemme, Adhoc and more has also led Monograms' music to be used in film and television (Shameless on Showtime, SXSW Film Festival, etc.)
