Son Kiss is an album about emotional liminality - about standing in doorways, playfully listening to your own thoughts, and recognizing that sometimes the most resonant moments happen in the pause between one place and another. Through-out Son Kiss emotion and narrative is treated like a subtle game-serious enough to feel weight, light enough to allow unexpected turns, quirks, and gentle humor.

Son Kiss unfolds in the quiet spaces most records rush past. It lingers in thresholds, tracing a persistent sense of being “between” places or people. The songs feel less like declarations and more like interior monologues set to music: thoughts half-formed, carefully observed, and gently released.

There is an intimate but restrained, eccentric but subdued, presence at the center of the album - almost diary-like, but never melodramatic. Mona’s vocals do not plead or confess ; they simply are…steady, and self-possessed-letting flickers of quiet melancholy or skewed strangeness emerge without drama.

Lyrically, the record moves through dream logic and fragmented imagery. Scenes blur at the edges. Lines repeat, slightly altered, as if turned over in the mind at 3 a.m. At times, it feels like overhearing thoughts in a half-dream - private, suspended, and strangely lucid.

The production is heavy and intricate, simultaneously. Sparse synths hover like distant streetlights while detuned guitar lines trace understated drum machines and vocal figures.  Repetition and hypnotic structures replace traditional peaks and releases, creating a dense, immersive momentum- both weighty and intricately coiled.

Nothing here demands attention. It invites it.

The title Son Kiss, is a reference to the couple’s new born son who came into the world this February.

“The whole album was written and recorded in 2025, it was a fast process that felt concise and satisfying” explain Robbie & Mona.

Robbie - “My approach to production is quite eccentric. What drives me to create is experimenting with unorthodox processes, not knowing where these will necessarily take us. A lot of the vocal takes Mona did were recorded in the first moment of listening to the song, straight into the laptop without a microphone, from bed. This made the vocal performance go in a less obvious direction.”

Mona -“Bedrooms and personal spaces are far more connected to the dreamier side of ourselves, our less civilised selves. For us, that’s where art belongs - as an antidote to the everyday social performances, small talks and niceties.”

Robbie “It very much falls into the whole bedroom pop DIY thing, which we love. This process makes a lot of sense for us, the majority of all 3 of our albums have been made there.”

Taking inspiration from the atmospheres of underground New Wave acts like Vita Noctis, Roger Doyle and Anna Domino, Robbie & Mona return with a pop album at its core, but with structures that feel abstract, free and beguiling.
