Yon Mon – Shine On

As the sun sets on The Shed Project, frontman Roy Fletcher launches his new project, Yon Mon. The debut single ‘Shine On’ was recorded with The Jade Assembly's Danny Hayes at Bolton’s Ivy Studio.

Where The Shed Project’s second album had heavier sound and discourse, Yon Mon has returned to the freer energy of their debut. The escapist with the lysergic spirit of Northside and hints of early Charlatans.

Fletcher breaks from the straight-up guitar sound of his former project in the second half, giving the seaside keys of The Horrors’ ‘Primary Colours’ an injection of ecstasy. Coupled with the resounding guitars that loom large, Fletcher has struck upon a sonic perfect for his ‘Some Friendly’ Burgess-era vocal.

Yon Mon will be releasing three more singles in the coming months with the debut album coming in summer 2025. On this showing, it’s shaping up very well indeed!
