For My Parents

by MONO

Kirk Gauthier If you were to describe the music of MONO as “heavy,” chances are I’d laugh so hard my coffee would shoot out my nose. That being said, this album leans very heavily on the neo-classical side and makes this album sound “lighter” than others. But this album also leans perhaps more heavily on the melancholy (due to the more prominent neo-classical influences). Overall, this album feels very reflective and warm, like the embrace of a loved one. Favorite track: Nostalgia.

about

After years of exploring, searching ourselves, and composing pieces here and there, we found ourselves with more questions than answers. When we could not find these answers in the outside world, we were bound to turn inward. And so we went back to our roots.

This is something we wanted to do while we still have the chance. What cannot be explained in words to parents, we hope can be captured by these songs.

We hope that this album serves as a gift from child to parent. While everything else continues to change, this love remains a constant throughout time.
