MONO by Jim Pearson
MONO – A Departure
My first acoustic album. Something I’ve thought about doing for a while, but since I packed up The Cabin nearly a year ago, I’ve been a bit stuck with these songs – written and completed on my acoustic guitar throughout 2025. Hence the title. MONO. One instrument. I might have easily called it “A Departure”. My decision to record them “as is” before I do actually relocate was also partly influenced by the increasing debate on generative AI. I wanted this album to sound “authentic”, slightly ropey, low-fi, basic. Yes, it is a deliberate stylistic decision… honest. It is released on my big birthday, as a line in the sand.

"You never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it's gonna be pretty darn good." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.
Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
