Mona Mur

“Her weapons are a passionately bloody voice and a gift for multilingual puns she applies to acerbic commentaries.” -NME

Best known for her unique voice and fierce live performance, German-born Mona Mur has been an influencer in our dark corner of the world for decades and her well-documented artistry stretches far beyond music.

Having kicked-off her distinguishedly rebellious career during the punk explosion of the 80’s, Mona linked with members of Einstürzende Neubauten to release the seminal 12” single “Jeszcze Polska”, which immediately claimed “Single of the Week” status from NME upon release.

Deeply embedded in the DNA of Polish and German arts, throughout the years, Mona has accomplished everything from releasing critically acclaimed albums (employing a select group of very notable producers), working with The Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, composing for film, to being cast in undergound hit plays. Most-recently, the artist has found herself composing for the game industry.

Among many, many more, a short-list of Mona’s collaborators include F.M. Einheit and Alexander Hacke of Einstürzende Neubauten, Thomas Stern of Crime and the City Solution, Raymond Watts of PIG, Kristof Hahn of Swans and of course, frequent collaborator and close friend En Esch of KMFDM fame.

Mona's latest full-length finds her returning to her industrial roots and brims with ten doomy, romantic and apocalyptic songs. Featuring En Esch, Gary Schmalzl and beautifully completed (mastered) by Jon Caffery (Einstürzende Neubauten, Joy Division), Snake Island is available now.
