Robbie & Mona is a duo from Bristol who channel some of their forebears Portishead penchant for heavy moods – pairing it with a sparkly 80s production a la Prefab Sprout. Their self-produced debut came out on the local label and event series Spinny Nights in 2021 and the follow-up Tusky came out in March this year. I’m not sure how I first came across them but their music is perfect for a lazy summer evening. We included the Wim Wenders tribute “Wenders” on our 2023 summer playlist.
