Mon’s latest release, “Prison Planet,” is the pull of gravity in a hard moment, delivered through a starkly simple musical approach. The debut single is a short rumination on the end of a love story and existentialism, recorded on a phone using hospital earphones. The barebones layout and simple loop evoke the boredom referenced in the song, while the layered vocals add an emotional weight. It doesn't try to conceal its origins, that directness is its hallmark. “Prison Planet” is a private thought, in real time, recycled into a bleak lead-in from an artist finally finding his voice.
