Lost in this world.
I call this... my home.
I am not judged anymore,
nor a stranger here.
Here, is where I belong.
Thank you Mono.
Endless love. <3
Favorite track: Meet Us Where the Night Ends.
Nowhere Now Here

A return to the core power and emotion that defines MONO. Not to say that the last few releases haven't been great, but this feels like the original albums that got me hooked (You Are There, One More Step).

A really solid MONO album, nothing is really surprising here, apart from maybe "Breathe" which is a beautiful minimal track.
Favorite track: Meet Us Where the Night Ends.

about
The conflict and correlation between dark and light is a universal theme with a historically rich history. Musically, perhaps no band in the 21st Century has mined that relationship more consistently or effectively than Japan’s MONO.
Across 10 albums in 20 years, MONO have convincingly reflected the quietest and most chaotic parts of life through their music. Their ever-expanding instrumental palette – which began in earnest in 1999 with the traditional guitar-bass-drums rock band setup – has evolved to include as many as 30 orchestral instruments. Now, on Nowhere Now Here, the band add electronics to their repertoire – perhaps inspired by guitarist/composer Takaakira ‘Taka’ Goto’s recent collaboration with John McEntire, the beguiling Behind the Shadow Drops. Nowhere Now Here also sees MONO’s first-ever lineup change, adding new drummer Dahm Majuri Cipolla (The Phantom Family Halo) to the core trio of Goto, Tamaki, and Yoda. Tamaki also makes her vocal debut here, singing into the shadows of vintage Nico on the poetically hazy “Breathe.”
The unlikely career of MONO has taken them to virtually every corner of the planet, several times over. Those corners have all left indelible marks on their music, as it drills deeper towards the sound of feeling not quite human and all too human – often at the same time.
