Monograms, the project of multi-instrumentalist Ian Jacobs, impressed many with the release of the 2018 EP, “Silencer,” a short, hook-filled four-track compilation, each recorded in a different studio session with varied lineups. Now, the project has taken another step forward in its evolution — from its origins as a one-man bedroom project to a full, consistent lineup. Its debut release, “Living Wire,” dropped September 21 via Paper Cup Music. With its current lineup in tow, Jacobs has solidified a sonic vision and direction for Monograms, one that draws from a variety of different influences.
