Mono – Nowhere Now Here (Album download)
Mono releases a new album entitled “Nowhere Now Here“. Mono have made their name by carving their own path. Their unique approach of combining moving orchestral arrangements and shoegaze guitar noise is held in extremely high regard; so much so, that the band’s musicianship and the diverse musical palette has eclipsed the Rock genre and exists within its own realm.
While countless bands have followed down that path, we should always take celebrate those who make such influences possible. This year sees the Tokyo quartet release their tenth full-length Nowhere Now Here, marking their second offering via German label Pelagic Records.
Following an album centered around Dante’s Inferno in Requiem For Hell, this widening of concept and abundance of textures raises the question of where one goes from there — especially as the albums following Hymn to the Immortal Wind seemingly compartmentalize the band somewhat, allowing them to draw focus to each of the facets that combine to become unmistakably Mono.
Nowhere Now Here represents a coming-together once again to explore the dualities of Light and Dark with a fully armed presentation of everything the band is and was through their continued experimentation. The duality here feels innately spiritual:, that merging of darkness and light becomes almost transient toward enlightenment with the album acting as one swirling dynamic rather than neatly cut-up tracks.
