Steppin' Into Tomorrow
Floatmonki - 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' (Live at Flowriders Studio)
Floatmonki performing live at Flowriders Studio in Amsterdam.
Floatmonki is a fusion of electronic textures, soothing synths, jazz harmonies and cathartic releases with the raw edge of progressive rock music. Never losing the power of the song, forever searching for new formats to mould into. As a brainchild of vocalist and composer Donna van Dijck, Floatmonki’s music tells intimate stories of rebirth, exploration and ardour, all rooted in a jazz-fusion framework. Leading vocals serenade lush instrumentals. With introspective and heartfelt lyrics, the band invites you on an autobiographical journey through personal experiences of hardship, comfort and resolution. Hints of Bjork and 80s jazz fusion are topped off with Hiatus Kaiyote-esque aesthetics to create an ethereal feeling, undoubtedly leaving many listeners with a sense of empathy.
