Paris Monster is an indie experimental duo formed in 2012 out of Brooklyn, New York. The band consists of Josh Dion: who handles vocals, drums, and keyboard, often simultaneously and Geoff Kraly: who plays bass and modular synth. This unique setup often give the impression of a larger band.

Formed in Brooklyn in 2012, Paris Monster meld together dizzying synthpop and gritty garage to produce music that’s left-field, beat-driven and a bit glitchy. Although it took seven years to release their debut album, 2019’s Lamplight, the band spent that time honing their famed idiosyncratic performance style. Using clever arrangements, they juggle drums, bass, synths and soulful vocals. The result is a layered, textured sound – which many find surprising, considering the band is only made up of two members. This unique setup allows them to create a remarkably full sound for a duo, often giving the impression of a larger band. They combine soulful vocals with fuzzed-out bass, grinding synth, and sparse, linear drumming. According to Music Gateway, their sound blends synthesized elements with an old-school grit, and has been described as "dirty, glitchy, lyric-centered, groove-based".
