**Featured bonus LP with remixes by Jackie-O Motherfucker, DJ Olive, Loren Conors and more** Japenese post-rock outfit Mono are one of those bands that seem to be effortlessly good at what they do. Admittedly they don't make grand gestures or mix things up on every release, but what they do they do exceptionally well and they keep on polishing, making their chosen sound as good as it can be. 'One Step More and you Die', their 2003 sophomore albu... READ MORE ABOUT: MONO, One Step More And You Die: New York Soundtracks, Temporary Residence ![]()
Currently celebrating a decade together, Mono have completed this, their fifth studio album, the outcome of a period of hibernation, spent ferreted away writing. A well-deserved hiatus from the band's incessant touring, this album might well rate as their most ambitious offering to date - and that's saying something. If you're in anyway likely to object to post-rock in all its outlandish pomp and grandiosity, Mono might just win you over where ...

**Nearly two-hour document of the recording sessions for You Are There, and the several worldwide tours that followed its release** The Sky Remains The Same is a visual document of Japanese post-rockers Mono on tour and in the studio. The DVD captures the frenzied intensity of a number of live appearances from their recent world tour. The live footage remains interesting and varied throughout, and considering these guys are an instrumental band y... READ MORE ABOUT: MONO, The Sky Remains The Same As Ever, Temporary Residence ![]()
Japenese post-rock outfit Mono are one of those bands that seem to be effortlessly good at what they do. Admittedly they don't make grand gestures or mix things up on every release, but what they do they do exceptionally well and they keep on polishing, making their chosen sound as good as it can be. 'One Step More and you Die', their 2003 sophomore album, illustrates clearly that they've always had something special about them. More recently the...

So after something of a burst of life last year, the decaying post rock sound has gone into a sharp decline in 2007. Maybe we should have expected it, it's been going on for quite some time now, and you can't keep pulling the same old tricks forever, but I can't help but be slightly sad about the whole affair. Lucky then that Japanese symphonic post-rock poster-boys Mono don't show any signs of letting up with this latest full-length from the Tem...

*Back in stock!*After a huge album from masters of the genre Mogwai and an equally gigantic debut from newcomers Sickoakes, now Japan puts its oar in with a new album from Mono, and it's just superb. I was never really convinced by Mono in the past, for all their credibility and acclaim I never felt that they hit the nail on the head – they had the sound but they didn’t have the songs. ‘You Are There’ thankfully fixes this short falling deftly an...

You probably know by now we've got more than just a soft spot for good quality post-rock - yes we're Mogwai fetishists and we're not afraid to show it, so when Mono appeared on the map a few years ago we were all there, rabid to see where exactly Japan's instrumental rock troubadours would end up - and it's hardly a surprise to see them now welcomed into the loving arms of filmmaker Cameron Crowe. Yep the same guy that brought you Vanilla Sky and... READ MORE ABOUT: MONO, Memorie Dal Futuro, VINYL FILMS ![]()
Finally available again after the release of their highly acclaimed recent album "You Are There". Mono are a young instrumental band from Tokyo combining elements of minimalism, psychedelia and post-rock to create a distinctive and powerful new sound via John Fahey, Sonic Youth and the Grateful Dead. Austere and intense - their music is simple, beautiful and incredibly direct. Sheets of sound, lyricism, wailing guitars and pounding rhythms evolve...

Back in stock! Tokyo, Japan's Mono are a peculiar group. While most bands offer up their sincerest and most genuine recordings in their infancy and spend the rest of their careers trying desperately to rediscover their youthful energy, Mono's trajectory has been quite the opposite. Their early recordings are a visceral homage to their past and present heroes - the documents of a band boasting an impressive symphony of sound in spite of their rela...

Mono is a young instrumental band from Tokyo combining elements of minimalism, psychedelia and trance rock to create a distinctive and powerful new sound via John Fahey, Sonic Youth and the Grateful Dead. Austere and intense - their music is simple, beautiful and incredibly direct. Sheets of sound, lyricism, wailing guitars and pounding rhythms evolve slowly, morphing into a ritual of noise and ecstasy. A remarkable debut from this exciting new J...
