Mono + The Twilight Sad: 26 May 2010 - Toronto

Probably the best way to describe the live Mono experience is this realization: All evening long, there was a giant gong set up next to the drummer's kit. When he finally hit the gong, no one in the audience could hear it.

MONO: Hymn to the Immortal Wind

Japanese post-rock practitioners add an orchestra, get predictable but remain effective.

Mono: Gone

This slightly disturbing collection of relatively rare Mono tracks from the past seven years signifies nothing in particular. That is, unless intensely quiet, very quiet, bloody loud is the new loud.

MONO: You Are There

MONO catches up to its legendary live experience not via brute force, but through an exquisite display of melodic and dynamic subtlety.

Mono: Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined

Grandiose and ambitious, Mono incorporates a variety of aural brushstrokes to create an imperfect, albeit enjoyable, experience.
