Tomat and Niagra release albums

Two new releases from Monotreme Records:

ARTIST: Tomat
TITLE: 01-06 June
RELEASE DATE: April 17, 2012

Tomat is the solo project of Davide Tomat from Torino, Italy. He is also the chief songwriter and lyricist of the bands N.A.M.B. and Niagara. His fantastic solo debut album under the name Tomat showcases the more experimental side of his music. Its dreamy, drony soundscapes with minimal layers of vocals, guitar and synthesizer conjure up images of outer space. It’s the perfect album to listen to on headphones and totally immerse yourself in.


ARTIST: Niagara
TITLE: Niagara EP
RELEASE DATE: February 21, 2012

Niagara is an experimental music project from Torino, Italy, whose members include Davide Tomat (Tomat / N.A.M.B. / GEMINI EXCERPT), Gabriele Ottino (N.A.M.B / MILENA Lovesick / GEMINI EXCERPT), and Diego Perrone (Caparezza / Medusa). The band members came together in 2007 and decided to compose a concept album based on the film 'Niagara', a tense thriller/film noir released in 1953, in which Marilyn Monroe plays Rose, a woman who plots with her lover to kill her husband, George (played by Joseph Cotton), during a trip to Niagara Falls. The resulting album is a kaleidoscopic, often surreal, soundtrack full of wondrous and chaotic sounds, which still maintains a strong melodic current throughout.
