Mono XL releasing Haze Collector
Embark on a mesmerising journey through the electronic soundscapes of London’s rising star
Mono XL, the brainchild of Spanish-born Mike de Lis, is set to captivate the alt rock pop scene with his highly anticipated debut studio album, ‘Haze Collector’. This London-based artist has crafted a sonic masterpiece that seamlessly blends electronic rhythms, rock influences, and atmospheric soundscapes, all recorded in his self-made London studio. The album, produced by Piti Varela and de Lis himself, promises to be a genre-defying experience that pushes the boundaries of experimental electronic music.
De Lis’ musical journey is as fascinating as his sound. After honing his craft in bands like Chacales and Potencia Schach during the early 2000s, he made the bold move to London in 2011. This transition marked a shift in focus towards composition and sound design for art performances, ultimately leading to the creation of his own studio in 2019.

‘Haze Collector’ is more than just an album; it’s an intimate and experimental journey through de Lis’ diverse musical inspirations. Drawing from influences as varied as Bowie, Prince, Hot Chip, and Radiohead, Mono XL has created a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. The fusion of ’80s synths with introspective lyrics results in a synth indie rock experience that is both expressive and immersive. Tracks like “I Fall”, “Another Day”, “Seven Days”, and “Take Me Home” showcase the depth and breadth of de Lis’ artistic vision.
“Mono XL’s ‘Haze Collector’ is a testament to the power of musical alchemy. Mike de Lis has crafted an album that not only crosses genre boundaries but obliterates them, creating a soundscape that is as emotionally resonant as it is sonically innovative. This is the future of alt rock pop.” – PopHits.Co Curation Team
